Pros
- Stripe's product and value proposition are unique and strong. They are trying to solve an old and hard problem. - Technology is very strong - Founder's vision is bold and far-reaching
Cons
Though the company has clear operating principles, the ability to realize that all depends on each manager. I just had a quite frustrating experience. Got hired after a very thorough interview process and relocated. Four weeks into the job, my employment got terminated all of a sudden without any prior indication. All the feedbacks I got during that short period were positive and colleagues were very supportive. When I asked the HR and the hiring manager why, I only got the standard answer, which doesn't make sense. As a result, I lost three months of time and turned down another better opportunity because of my commitment. Apparently, the specific team within Stripe doesn't value my commitment at all.
