Business Outlook

Pros

Great team, offices, benefits and product, and growing culture.

Cons

Not work/life balance friendly, a lot of work being done around staffing the company enough to enable a better dynamic in this sense. Lots of new teams and new measurables coming into play for the company, clear objectives for company's growth and success but sometimes a lack of support on the implementation of new roles and functions and measuring their successes or non successes.

Stripe — A place to be your best self, surrounded by folks doing the same

Workforce manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Stripe is filled with passionate folks all striving on behalf of Stripe Users. The mission and vision, to "Increase the GDP of the internet", is not some platitude that is mentioned and then moved past — it is an everyday part of life at Stripe. If you're not helping Users, if you're not increasing the GDP of the internet, what are you doing?

Cons

With a relatively flat hierarchy it can be challenging at times to get decisions made and to push changes forward.
