Process
I had a call with a recruiter and then a phone screen. Everyone was pleasant.
It was a nice process; Stripe's a pretty pleasant company. I'd apply again.
One of the better companies I've interviewed with.

Defining the experience of my career
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Stripe relies on a huge range of technology to build the best commerce tools available on the internet. In my roles as a software engineer, that has given me the opportunity to work on machine learning infrastructure, user-facing big data products, and a sophisticated financial backend, among other projects.
The company does worthwhile work. I'm proud that we've helped put hundreds of thousands of folks in business online. And I love that we're powering platforms blazing a trail for creative people to earn a middle-class living online.
Cons: There are always bumps along the road for any growing company. The continual changes in infrastructure, tools, documentation, and process can be disorienting at best and frustrating at worst.
