Overhired with a forced curve
Good product and great people.
Leadership is too worried about optics and Stripe's reputation and would go to any extent to preserve those. They tried to avoid layoffs with forced PIPs. Slack was monitored and used to put folks in PIP. Once a great company, it went downhill with over-ambitious leadership and missed outlooks. I am not sure how they overestimated the growth since they process payments for millions of customers.
