Process
Enjoyable interview rounds with Stripe!
Very fast-paced company, with hard but fair interviews.
Not your regular interviews; they are hard to study for, but really test good engineering fundamentals.
Would interview here again in the future.

Passionate co-workers who embody company values
Software Engineer • Current Employee
February 9, 2016
Pros: The company is very welcoming and willing to accommodate you working odd hours if you need to.
Unlike at larger companies, they don't just pay lip service to what they believe in. Instead, it feels like every person you work with at the company is personally invested in the values.
You're given lots of autonomy. Important decisions, like company-wide goals, are decided by representatives from the entire company, then filter down to smaller tasks to achieve each quarter as decided by teams.
Cons: We're still struggling to grow from a baby company into a full-grown one, with everything that entails. HR processes and management structures are still developing in some areas, and we're still learning how to balance feature work with reliability. This means instability, which can sometimes mean intrusions on personal time for incident response.
