Pros
In the last year, Stripe has really identified areas where there is great room for improvement. Unlike other companies I've worked for, they're actively interested in fixing these issues, and continually refining the approach to people and user issues alike. I am confident that Stripe cares about employees and is willing to address these issues head-on. - continually refined compensation and review process - lots of autonomy in the job - consults employees for changes - adding new resources for manager training, IC training, feedback training, etc. - thoughtful, energetic, rigorously-thinking employee base
Cons
Stripe's culture of transparency isn't fully adapted by managers and very experienced IC's hired in to the company (as opposed to promoted from within), so we should work hard to ensure people adopt and support it. Additionally, there's a lack of clarity around internal mobility. Finally, the promotion process needs additional clarification, especially when moving long-time Stripes to management or other roles that include a promotion - this is something we should publicly celebrate. Stripe has been in a near-constant state of change over the last several years, and this doesn't seem to be slowing down; if you're interested in joining, be ready!
