Pros

Good compensation Opportunities to learn new skills

Cons

Managers will favor those who kiss up to them, and do not care if you are a hard worker, as a matter of fact if you work hard on the wrong work you may be given a poor performance review as only new development matters here (take that to heart especially if you are working on complex software that requires fixes -- you will not be appreciated) Managers have poor communication skills Many robotic individuals here with a lack of empathy, especially the managers

Pros

Patrick Collison is fantastic. People are super collaborative and thoughtful. Great mission : increase the GDP of the internet. Peoples' livelihoods are on the line, so the work you do really matters. Few projects fail because we are so deliberate and thoughtful.

Cons

Not enough focus on productivity relative to other concerns. Security team has to much power to shut things down without providing a good alternative. Being on call can be stressful because, again, livelihoods are on the line.

Pros

Stripe is a workplace teeming with brilliant people across all functions, and especially so in technical roles. Thanks to its highly collaborative nature, all of these people are happy and willing to take the time to help teach you and grow. Transparency and clear direction from are also very obviously valued by leadership which makes it easy to understand why and when big things will happen.

Cons

The main downside is that while there are a bevy of bright people and resources available to learn, the fast paced nature of the company can easily leave you behind growth and learning unless you take the time to seize it yourself. Managers are willing to fund and guide towards useful growth opportunities but the time commitment and initiative need to be self-driven.
