Smart Team, Poor Work-life
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 27, 2023
Pros: A glass door is making me fill this out to see reviews for another job. Stripe had smart people and a product that was obviously doing well.
Cons: Very little work-life balance. Software engineers do a lot of product management because of how complex the product is. Product leadership is poor. They'll regularly throw 400 people at a project only to kill it a year later.
