Extremely satisfying role

Business Outlook

Pros

- Challenging, interesting, meaningful work - Very little red tape - Good work-life balance, encouragement to take time off

Cons

- We're still trying to figure out where process would be helpful - Everyone is so humble and down-to-earth that people are sometimes not recognized for doing great work - Looks like work-life balance is still pretty dependent on what team you're on

Exceptionally thoughtful, incredibly rewarding

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- This is the most well-run company I've ever seen. Execution of every detail is taken seriously, from product design to the smallest accommodations in the offices. - The people are simply amazing; many places I've worked at have a "no a**-hole policy" which is often merely a platitude and frankly a low bar to set. Stripe is the first place I've seen that has put such an emphasis on seeking out not only talented, but genuinely pleasant people.

Cons

- The demographic of the company skews quite young. This means driven and (often surprisingly) capable people, but with less collective experience. Senior mentorship is a limited resource here. - Everyone is nice, but sometimes too nice. If you're the kind of person who does their best work in an environment where people are aggressively lighting fires under you and holding you accountable, you probably won't thrive here.
