Process
The recruiter was very professional. He gave feedback and was quick to respond to emails.
I enjoyed the technical interviews, but unfortunately failed the last one out of a total of 4. :(
The reason I give a negative experience is because all of my interviewers were white men. This may be fine for some interviewees, but it made me feel like it wasn't a diverse team. It also means statistically that I had lower chances of making a positive impression (unconscious bias).
I hope they pay attention to this for future applicants.

Stripe Work Experiences
- 4.0Great place, but can be stressfulSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 28, 2025Pros: Lots of learning and growth opportunities.Cons: Stressful. Compensation is limited upside due to stock grant changes.
- 5.0A great company to work atSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 17, 2024Pros: Great people, good work, amazing benefits.Cons: Sometimes a lot of work.
- 2.0Started strong, but is declining rapidlySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 25, 2022Pros: Compensation Lots of scope for any level of engineer. My skills have improved drastically in the relatively short time I've been here.Cons: PIP quotas destroyed almost all of the goodwill I had for this company. I was able to cope for a while because they weren't actually enforcing the 15% target and were cruising at around 8%, but that was dashed with the upcoming cycle. It's an obviously bad policy that has gone poorly for every company that has done it. It's hard to have confidence in leadership when they have many great examples of the damage this policy inflicts and choose to proceed anyway. Work-life balance is hit or miss. I've been on three teams, and it was good on two, but awful on the third. This is largely dependent on your management chain's ability to set expectations to leadership. The development loop is a bit of a train wreck. I haven't experienced a single development environment that has a quick feedback loop. It's difficult to stay focused while staring at loading indicators for 30 seconds.
