I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affirm (Warsaw, Masovia) in Aug 2024
Interview
Classical Faang style interview process with nice recruiter "get-to-know-you" call, three technical rounds and a 1-1 with hiring manager. Hiring manager mostly asks about cv, prior experience and checks if you are a company fit. Expect questions like "what does equality mean to you and how is it different from equity (non-financial context)"

Took roughly 2 months total. Recruiter was very fast to respond and the interviewers were all very nice and collaborative during the interview. Typical HR call, two technical rounds, and behavorial round.
Live coding #1 focuses on algorithms and data structures, testing problem-solving skills and efficiency. Live coding #2 emphasizes coding challenges and practical problem-solving. The behavioral round assesses experience, teamwork, and culture fit.
