Affirm 5-round loop - HM round tanked a clean technical process

User-qplq1Jun 7, 2026

Did the SD interviewer extend time past 60 minutes or was it strictly capped?

Yeah we went maybe 15 minutes over. That round actually felt positive.

The loan hierarchy problem with 100+ lines of starter code is peak Affirm. Reading comprehension test disguised as a coding interview.

The HM round killing an otherwise clean loop is such a documented Affirm thing. I've warned a few friends about this.

Filtering out qualified people because of one disengaged HM is a waste. Sorry this happened.

Did you know which team you were interviewing for going in? Some teams have a worse rep than others.

Payments infra team. Thought I was safe but apparently not.
