Horrible code base

Pros

Good comp is the only good thing I have to say about Stripe

Cons

I have been apart of two different product teams at Stripe, and to sum it up: - Don't be expecting to following engineer best practices, Stripe only cares about adding new features - The code base is full of tech debt regardless of the team you are on - You will forever be adding tech debt and AI has only made this worse as you are now expected to add features even faster
