Stripe Reviews

Pros

Great tech stack Nice people Ambitious vision Take care of people Well funded and revenue

Cons

Sometimes lacking focus of the work and too many half baked projects

Pros

The org is constantly updating with the demands of the market. This keeps you challenged and the learning never stops.

Cons

To stay competitive, you have to go along with the org evolution. Not for someone who wants to settle and be happy with the job. Intense work ethics mean doing whatever it takes to get things done.

Advice to Management

Improve internal mobility. Working on career development is tough since the functions keep changing.

Pros

Motivated, intelligent people working on challenging problems.

Cons

Work-life balance is basically non-existent on certain teams and there is a never-ending expectation to do more. Not a good place for people who want to have any semblance of a life outside of work.

Advice to Management

Allocate more resources to the teams that are on fire where people are burning out.

Pros

+ Patrick and John are great, very transparent, and accessible to employees (same for the rest of the exec team) + Onboarding process is top-notch compared to other valley companies + Transparent communication and very good documentation (people produce lots of content here) + Benefits are generous (food is on point) + Resonates with company mission, actually helping lots of small companies to kick start and grow...

Cons

- Wish I started at Stripe earlier - Somewhat stressed about work (not in a bad way), which pushes me to learn and improve constantly

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you guys are doing, talk to your employees more and people will be happy

Pros

- Strong team culture - Strong management team that cares

Cons

- Transition to more mature sales / marketing org means a lot of DYI collateral

Pros

Great perks, great culture, great work

Cons

there are no cons none

Pros

- Focused, thoughtful coworkers who care about each other and the work—very, very few people here are coasting - Lots of autonomy and impact - Plenty of learning opportunities and career options

Cons

- A lot of change, all the time

Pros

- This is the most well-run company I've ever seen. Execution of every detail is taken seriously, from product design to the smallest accommodations in the offices. - The people are simply amazing; many places I've worked at have a "no a**-hole policy" which is often merely a platitude and frankly a low bar to set. Stripe is the first place I've seen that has put such an emphasis on seeking out not only talented, but...

Cons

- The demographic of the company skews quite young. This means driven and (often surprisingly) capable people, but with less collective experience. Senior mentorship is a limited resource here. - Everyone is nice, but sometimes too nice. If you're the kind of person who does their best work in an environment where people are aggressively lighting fires under you and holding you accountable, you probably won't thrive...
