Process
Had a call with the hiring manager.
Scheduled a phone interview round, but the interviewer asked for a postponement twice after I had joined the call. Declined after the second time, as they did not respect my time.

Stripe Work Experiences

Experience at Stripe
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Great work-life balance at the company.
Cons: Not too many machine learning opportunities.
3.0
Startup mentality, corporate execution
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 16, 2024
Pros: Great benefits. Lots of opportunity for stretching yourself and for growth, if work is your only time commitment.
Cons: Lots of processes, lots of pivoting between projects.
I think the experience may be different for someone advanced in their career or just out of college, but as someone in the middle of their career journey, it feels impossible to get ahead, or even stay at pace. Growth is expected, but there’s no one to help you learn how to grow if that’s something that wasn’t a priority at previous employers.
Imposter syndrome is widespread.
