Pros

Such smart, motivated people work at Stripe, I've learned a lot! I feel really supported and heard as an employee and it's been a wonderful place to grow a sales career (not a super sales-y company)

Cons

Some growing pains, not great with internal mobility within the sales org (they look for external hires with 10+ years of experience instead of promoting top reps)

Pros

Great office environment Humble and friendly people all around Awesome medical and work/life benefits

Cons

Ineffective and inexperience managers: I have seen many people managers promoted into their roles without any real training or prior experience at all. People management involves being responsible for the growth, wellbeing and career trajectories of actual human beings, Too many junior managers at Stripe simply given the role of managing a team without having any clue what they are supposed to do on a day to day basis. This results in ALOT of unnecessary attrition of otherwise good talent which I have personally witnessed. Not enough emphasis and importance placed on the growth of APAC offices, product localisation, new market launches, local pain points and talent development are often overlooked/deprioritised and severe lack of internal mobility that is otherwise seen in the US/EMEA offices.

Pros

Co-Founders are incredibly gifted with deep empathy for employees and Stripe's customers. Have nailed long-term GTM strategy completely and set the tone for the organization. Market opportunity is still vast and the company is growing quite quickly alongside an ever expanding TAM. The overall talent bar at the company is incredibly high and it feels as though the majority of folks are doing their best work here - product velocity is strong.

Cons

Always tricky to manage through hypergrowth, some teams can have a tricky WLB. If you're a specialist coming from a large tech background - you may have to wear more hats than you're used to.
