Pros

• Strong salary and excellent benefits • Opportunities for growth and international travel • In early years had a wonderfully humble, kind organizational culture • Relatively strong efforts to promote diversity throughout organization for women, trans folks, people of color in tech • CEO who is easy on the eyes and ears

Cons

• What was a really warm, friendly, humble organization has become pretty anonymous, increasingly cutthroat — the downside of extreme growth • Culture lends itself to overwork, imposter syndrome, anxiety • Ex-Google COO rules through intimidation • Retain or even seek out users who are really bad players (e.g., Trump campaign)

Pros

Good benefits and outward team perception

Cons

Everyone at the company is way too full of themselves. They truly believe they are doing God's work and that the Stripe way is so much superior than others. They are a payment processing middleman for Christ's sake.

Pros

The work is pretty easy. Overall, most of the people you work with are pretty dumb, So they're really impressed when you're able to do things at an average or slightly above average pace. A solid place to "rest and vest".

Cons

Blatant and open racism, sexism, ageism and homophobia. With a strong penchant for nepotism. I can't tell you how many times I've seen extremely qualified under represented people be passed over for "culture fit" only to hire someone's friend with no experience. This is a direct result of the C suite not seeing value in HR and failing to invest in preventative measures. This is then further exacerbated when the bulk of leaders/senior leaders are inexperienced. The culture can only be described as "finance frat boy". Its a lot of straight white men that think they're the best thing ever and the most intelligent person on the face of the Earth and about 85-90% of the women in leadership that I've engaged with are textbook "pick me" types that will tear others down to ensure they keep their standing.
