Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Affirm em nov. de 2025
Entrevista
Meet with recruiter, call with hiring manager, take home assignment, panel interview broken up into (4) individual interviews across 2 days, final call with VP, offer received. My recruiter was so helpful throughout the whole process and set me up for success. He was also both present and transparent throughout each round and great set expectations on timing. The whole process took around 3 weeks which i thought was really fast, especially around the holidays
