Pros

People are kind, helpful, nice to be around. There's quite a bit of independence in terms of what you work on and you go about accomplishing it. We're finally getting around to adding some structure within the organization (rolling out levels, we have people in HR and do perf reviews). We've also recently let go of some managers that weren't performing (note: not everyone who has left has done so voluntarily). I have a great manager and get along with her well. I get more feedback from her than any other manger I have to date and it's actually constructive and useful.

Cons

We're growing and nothing is perfect. There are systems and processes that aren't quite there yet, but we're aware of them and make efforts to improve weaknesses. There are some areas of the company which have higher hiring bars than others, there are some teams where the output isn't clear to the org.

Decent Company, Terrible Managers

Pros

I think most people have a better experience than I did. I’ve worked for multiple FAANGs and I was compensated the highest at Stripe. It was an exciting time to be there while they prepare for IPO. I felt good about myself working there. It’s profitable and is a great place to work for most people. I think my experience was unique, unfortunately.

Cons

No team norms to know I wasn’t adhering to that were okay at previous companies. I felt a veiled sense of autonomy - “do what you want but only if it’s what we really want”. I was hired to revamp a program that the founders didn’t like and they never took mine the entire time I was there.

Compensation is the only Pro

Cons

Everyone running at 1000 miles per hour Documents for anything No decision maker Rat race among colleagues for perf No structure in the org but expects work to be done without structure, your impact depends upon on whims of the engineers who might want to help you if there mood is good
