Opportunity to make a big impact, but the process is getting worse
Stripe runs its teams very lean, which means each engineer has a lot of impact on their product and its users.

As the company grows, the process is growing too, along with bureaucracy. The appetite for risk is decreasing. This is making it harder to ship features, but I think we'll figure things out in the next year.
