Culture, Community, & Belonging
At Affirm, we’re not just building honest financial products that improve lives. We're intentional about building a workplace where every individual is empowered to thrive.
Here’s how we do it
These are a few of the ways we put Culture, Community, and Belonging into action:
Connected Culture
Inclusion at every step
Our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace is embedded throughout the employee lifecycle. We prioritize continuous learning, growth, and engagement in effective behaviors for managing bias.
Hearing every voice
We send a yearly inclusion survey to our employees to gain insight into their experiences and create informed action plans to continuously improve our culture, belonging, and psychological safety.
Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee (DISC)
This is our internal committee made up of senior leaders from across the company. They provide advocacy, oversight, support, and guidance on principles that support an inclusive workforce.
Thriving Community
Career growth for all
We invest in our Affirmers' futures through comprehensive skill and leadership development programs, professional coaching, and internal mentorship opportunities. Whether you are an individual contributor or a seasoned leader, we want to see you succeed.
A level playing field
We are committed to finding the best talent available. We do this by sourcing from broad candidate pools and creating an environment where all candidates have a fair opportunity to join Affirm. Ensuring a broad candidate pool results in stronger teams, more innovation, and being better equipped to build products that serve everyone.
Rooted in community
Through our 501(c)(3) non-profit, Affirm Cares, we engage with local nonprofit organizations to build connections and offer support, such as financial literacy and technology education. We also actively work to engage merchant partners from under-resourced communities, furthering economic opportunity more broadly.
Activating Belonging
Access without barriers
Affirm is committed to creating an accessible workplace for all employees. We provide reasonable accommodations to ensure an inclusive environment throughout the employment lifecycle—including our recruitment process.
Benefits that fit your needs
We understand the importance of holistic well-being. Affirm provides comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, robust mental health support programs, and generous time off. We also support growing families with competitive parental leave benefits and provide support for family journeys.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
Our 15 employee-led ERGs help create space for connection and culture. Open to all Affirmers, these groups host events, conversations, and initiatives that build understanding and foster community.
