Business Outlook
Pros
stripe is huge so they pay alot and have nice bonuses and stock offerings (assuming they ever go public)
Cons
They embody bloated corporate greed and apathy. Teams are disjointed, leadership doesn't care, progress is slow and stunted by constantly shifting priorities. You'll get assigned a project to work on for the next 6 weeks and 2 weeks in, you're expected to drop that and shift to another project leaving the first to go unfinished. If you are good at bs'ing your way through corporate america and have no qualms just punching a clock, you might survive a long time here, unless they decide to lay off more essential employees. Probably best to avoid.
