Stripe

Compensation - Base + Bonus + Benefits are quite high compared to others. Stock is high too, albeit mostly illiquid for now.

Growth - Tremendous opportunity to grow, especially as an Engineer.

People - Incredibly smart and ambitious people, mostly kind.

You're given responsibility as an IC engineer that would usually encompass many other roles. This isn't for everyone. But if you enjoy understanding products end-to-end and like the idea of being more than a "code monkey", Stripe is a great place to be.

WLB - Can be hit or miss. This goes with being full of incredibly smart and ambitious people, though.

Managers - Lots of turnover.

Reorgs - Way too many in the last year. We basically hired a crazy amount of people in the last year and don't know what to do with all of them.

Continue to slow down hiring (minus the macro conditions). Provide employees liquidity for their equity (when most reasonable and possible given macro conditions). Find a way to let people take more time off. Manager consistency would be nice.
