Smart coworkers Good comp and benefits Fun problems to solve Great food in HQ
Marketing org is toxic Horrible WLB Lack of internal alignment Shifting priorities Lack of culture
Solid growth opportunities outside of the frontline team - they do invest in people.
They’re very old school business in some weird ways, including shoddy comp and benefits.
Is it true that nearly everything at Stripe is in Ruby? Any plans to migrate to other languages? I’m thinking about applying but don’t love working in Ruby, primarily because I’ve seen some really bad Ruby code bases. Certain teams to target or avoid? ❤️ Thank you! ❤️

For the Money Movement team, what programming language does Stripe use? Specifically for the backend/API engineer role? I hear it’s a Ruby shop but there has been a big investment in moving to Java #stripe

I’ve noticed a number of comments on Blind that there isn’t great engineering work at Stripe and good engineers leave after a short tenure due to boredom. Basically that it’s just hacking ruby to stitch together payment APIs. Any truth to this? From an engineer’s perspective what are the pros / c...Read more

Everything I've seen from both companies looks great. I generally want to learn more about large scale systems. Learning-wise, I wonder if Tan...Read more

Recently got an offer from both Stripe and Cruise for a software engineer position. Compensation is very similar for both offers. My top concerns now are that 1) WLB at both seems to be team dependent, 2) Stripe being predominantly Ruby based isn't great, and 3) reviews for cruise look like it isn'...Read more
