Pros

- Smartest yet most humble people I've worked with - People are generally very nice and humble - Strong focus on trust + transparency internally that allows you to learn _alot_ - Very easy to access and voice your opinions to execs (several forums to interact with them directly) - Strong focus on rigorous thinking and not doing things simply because $competitor_x or $tech_company_y are doing it

Cons

- Sounds cliché but the company's focus on being "nice" can get in the way of getting work done

Pros

I'm inspired by the people I work with and motivated by the problems that we're tackling within the financial industry. I would recommend Stripe to anyone who is looking for professional development, likes to creatively solve problems around very developed systems, and is always looking to learn something new from others.

Cons

Our "stay humble" mindset doesn't always allow us to celebrate employees' accomplishments.

Pros

1. Company trajectory is great 2. Impressive executive leadership, esp COO, CFO 3. Flat structure

Cons

1. Very poor work / life balance 2. Inexperienced middle management - not much focus on people management and development 3. Lot of ex consultants and MBAs on the business side - makes for a fairly intense culture, with everyone trying to be the smartest person in the room
