Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, friendly people who are ambitious

Cons

Leadership is at times short sighted and often causes thrash by deciding to invest in long term (9-12mo) projects one quarter, and then pulling resources from it the next quarter.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers Lots of flashy benefits

Cons

Stripe has some amazing people to work with along with a ton of potential. The problem is they grew too fast and all of the new people want to bring over things from their old companies and recreate at Stripe, without understanding if they are actually the right fit for Stripe. - Terrible leadership and clique culture - No priorities or strategy - Burnout - No accountability
