Pros

- smart, driven people - clear understanding of how my work impacts my team and the company - clear vision for the future of the company, both for people and business - vast improvements on internal mobility, manager training, and inter-team communications - better growth structure and follow-through on building that out - comp, benefits, leave policies, and work-life balance have all been updated, overhauled, and given clear structure - regular check-in across company on company satisfaction, with updates on initiatives in response to survey results

Cons

- disconnect between belief in culture of transparent communication with solicited feedback and reality of private decision-making without clear feedback solicitation - growth has continued while sections of mobility remain stagnant - lack of effective means to express concerns about poor management without fear of retaliation or with confidence it *will* be addressed

Pros

-Your peers are thoughtful, passionate, and smart. The hiring bar at Stripe is high and ensures you'll constantly be impressed and learning from the people around you. -Interesting technical challenges (lots of them) and opportunity for growth in the market. -The culture is strong. Even as the company is growing, our culture is embedded into our values and the way we run business. Leadership deeply cares about this and is mindful of our culture/ values when making decisions and scaling the company. -Great sense of community amongst employees. Lunch is always fun because you never know who you'll sit with and get to know. There are fun (optional) activities organized often- board game nights, karaoke, afternoon small group outings (coffee shop visits, yoga, running, and rock climbing nearby) as a nice break during work hours. -Amazing location in the mission. Right by Valencia street and other startups, there is lots to do compared to SOMA. Examples are above, but great food, coffee shops, yoga studios and mission cliffs are less than a 5 min walk away. -Strong co-founders. I really trust the decisions by our co-founders and COO. Very sharp people who are not only business savvy, but forward-thinking, and extremely approachable. The CEO makes an effort to learn everyone by name and meet with all new hires when they join.

Cons

-Growing pretty quickly which means inevitable changes happening that you need to keep up with -Work/Life balance is a struggle for some people especially if you have time management challenges, but it's a startup so you know what you're getting into. This has been getting better as the company grows, thankfully. -Culture is really autonomous so if you need a lot of direction and management, this is probably not the place for you.
