Stripe reviews

Managers are incompetent. PIP culture. They call it a 4 week coaching plan but this is a PIP. At the time they give you this coaching plan to improve, they've already notified the People Team of your upcoming termination. People team is not on your side. They are only there to make sure nothing illegal is said. I also felt discriminated against. My team was all white people (very nice, don't get me wrong), and the hiring manager only hired white people... particularly people he worked with at Meta. No growth opportunities. You are stuck at your level hired, and then kind of forced to move on after 3-4 yrs. Massively reduced pay bands in 2024. I accidentally came across some comms about this (another sloppy security mistake by the team). Be ready to burn the candle at both ends. If you're not up late catching up on project work, you will be called out for it and given a bad midyear/end of year review. They work on 3% margin so they try to push products like Radar (fraud prevention which is mediocre compared to services like Sardine), and Capital (predatory lending that ends up being 25+% interest rate on loans). Stripe will struggle through the economic downturn caused by Trump.

Too many to outline! 1) Mandatory 15% PME every 6-mos 2) 4-5 Reorgs a year and many people exit then! 3) Managers are encouraged to ‘exit’ new employees within weeks of starting! Woo Hoo! 4) Nasty dog-eat-dog culture and matter of time before external perception catches up with internal 5) Internal Blind is a bloodbath! Worse than Amazon acc to folks who’ve worked at both firms
