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

Interesting article that came out yesterday. Doesn't seem too bad (~90% of their price in Sept). Can anyone from stripe comment? "Fidelity's Growth Company Fund — a $55 billion fund that invested in Stripe's Series H funding round — valued the company's stock at $40.12 per share at the end of Novem...Read more
which startups / well funded unicorns are fast growing and recruiting heavily? wework? stripe? crowdstrike?
Both seems focus on checkout experience area. Bolt has been there longer than Fast.co, and also supports many different processing (not only Stripe) integration. On the other hand, Fast.co seems only support Stripe (sure, Stripe leads the fund round). What are the differences of the two? Which has b...Read more

Given how grim it has been with hiring freeze and potential lay offs off late at many mid scale tech companies like Uber, Twitter etc, what is the sentiment at Stripe? It is still private but any new funding will potentially drive its valuation down or investors may not even want to provide any fund...Read more
Asking for a friend - How is Bolt Checkout company’s engineering culture and business outlook in terms of competition with Stripe, checkout.com etc? He has L5 offer and currently thinking of joining. Bolt seems to be on hiring spree and lots of ex-Uber folks have joined it recently. They just had th...Read more

Considering Stripe as a next move, and couldn't find answers to a couple of specific questions when I searched Blind: - How are the offices? I'd want to be in the NYC office, curious about food / gym / other amenities - Does Stripe do education reimbursement? Currently doing my M.S. part time part...Read more
A lot of fintech companies are going under and correcting their course while big tech is eating their lunch. I talked to someone from private equity fund who funded Stripe at one of the early rounds. He says Stripe will get down to $10B in market cap and many early investors are looking for an exit...Read more
Got offers from both for new grad. Stripe comp is ~120k base + 50k signing + ~250k in stock (at 22b valuation) Airbnb comp slightly higher in base but same signing and stock. Which one would you take? Edit: Forgot to mention Stripe is in Seattle and Airbnb is in SF Edit: Stripe is about to raise i...Read more
It looks like Stripe recently led series A funding for Fast which is designing a 1 click checkout experience where you’ll have one login for every site using Fast. Why would Stripe invest in this company? For it to succeed, doesn’t it have to become a direct competitor of Stripe. Right now, I’m re...Read more
I’m expecting an offer soon from @stripe and want to be ready to discuss comp. Are there many opportunities to liquidate equity? Does valuation seem fair after it came down in 2023 funding round?
(To be clear, the Bolt I'm talking about is not the Estonian taxi company) Or is Bolt blaming others when they are responsible for their failure? Bolt's founder has likened Stripe and YC to the mob. Stripe also led a $120M Series B funding round for Bolt competitor Fast and also participated in F...Read more
hypothetical question: Are startups prepared for recession? Which one is most prepared? I did a bit research by myself, folks can add more comments, might be useful information. I can add more if folks can help naming startups. Probably I should add other dimensions such as expansion rate etc. I do...Read more
