Pros: Smart engineers and a collaborative culture, along with understanding coworkers.

Cons: Feels like there are politics at play a lot of the time.

Pros: - Working with world-class talent - Great culture - Many Stripes I met are the kindest people I've ever known

Cons: Heavy emphasis on docs culture and process, which contributes to moving slow. Development tooling can't keep up with the growth of headcount within the tech org. It's hard to make simple changes.

Pros: Fast-paced, good for growth. Ambitious coworkers. The intersection between software and finance is interesting.

Cons: Some managers are insecure and take out their stress sadistically on new hires. They aren't afraid to verbally assert that's what they're doing out loud to your face to get a kick out of your reaction. Nepotism from folks who joined Stripe after working together at previous companies is apparent. Attrition is high, so the majority of folks lack important context. Many folks have perpetual anxiety over getting "disappeared". Just ask someone at Stripe to read the internal Blind to see internal sentiment with your own eyes. There is no job security at Stripe. Valuation went down.
