Pros

I'm inspired by the people I work with and motivated by the problems that we're tackling within the financial industry. I would recommend Stripe to anyone who is looking for professional development, likes to creatively solve problems around very developed systems, and is always looking to learn something new from others.

Cons

Our "stay humble" mindset doesn't always allow us to celebrate employees' accomplishments.

Pros

1. Company trajectory is great 2. Impressive executive leadership, esp COO, CFO 3. Flat structure

Cons

1. Very poor work / life balance 2. Inexperienced middle management - not much focus on people management and development 3. Lot of ex consultants and MBAs on the business side - makes for a fairly intense culture, with everyone trying to be the smartest person in the room

Pros

- Team is incredible, the hiring bar is extremely high, so everyone I meet is extremely smart and driven. - Bold company vision and mission. Once you join and learn about the product roadmap, you realize it's much more than just a payments company. - Transparency culture. Everyone is open about the entire decision-making process, and communicates successes and failures across the company so we all have a realistic sense of how the company is performing. - Opportunity for impact is extremely high.

Cons

- Interview process (for software engineers at least) is quite different from most other similar companies, so we lose out on a lot of otherwise-great candidates that end up being unprepared.
