Stripe Reviews

-You are expected to work until the bone, weekends work and nighttime calls are expected, definitely not a place to work if you want to have a work-life balance and you have a family, especially for Singapore. High tendency to burn out. -The processes are broken and always changing, since this role is developing, you are expected to wear A LOT of hats and to deliver A LOT of things in a short period of time, without a clear definition of who does what. It is a startup culture in enterprise organisation scale hence expect chaos. -Underinvested and limited career opportunities/development especially for a non-developer or technical role. -The reason people stay is because of RSU. Many people will join here to get the jump in salary and branding in CV for their next opportunity.

Ineffective and inexperience managers: I have seen many people managers promoted into their roles without any real training or prior experience at all. People management involves being responsible for the growth, wellbeing and career trajectories of actual human beings, Too many junior managers at Stripe simply given the role of managing a team without having any clue what they are supposed to do on a day to day basis. This results in ALOT of unnecessary attrition of otherwise good talent which I have personally witnessed. Not enough emphasis and importance placed on the growth of APAC offices, product localisation, new market launches, local pain points and talent development are often overlooked/deprioritised and severe lack of internal mobility that is otherwise seen in the US/EMEA offices.
