Pros

A polyglot company. Lots to play with.

Cons

Terrible management. Confided about a mental health issue to a manager and received a glib response that "Stripe isn't for everyone." If I had kept better records, I would have filed a lawsuit.

Managers overpromise, and the understaffed team takes the brunt. I don't know if they either don't know how to manage people and projects, or they just don't care, but management is atrocious. There's no guidance, they play favorites, and people definitely get managed out.

Advice to Management

Clean house of EMs that don't manage their team. You're going to get sued one of these days when someone keeps records from the start.
