I just received an offer from Stripe, but given that all interviews where done via zoom, i don't think I got a sense of the atmosphere or culture at Stripe. I've been trying to find online what is like working at Stripe, and do offices look like, etc but honestly there is not much out there. Most of what I found was cautionary tales about tough culture due to the rapid growth and hit or miss with managers. I'm perfectly happy at Google, but I think changes are always growth opportunities. I just want to make sure I'm not ditching something good and regret it later. Any thoughts? #software #career #stripe #google
I would say go for it because like you said change is an opportunity for growth. Understand that it will not all be great though. Blind has some weird bias for Stripe and talking to friends that I personally know there, it is not as rosy as it seems. I will say it is unfortunate that Stripe is the only company you are considering. There are better opportunities out there if you are willing to look for them.
It closed to other companies, so wasn't really looking but got recruited and now I have this good dilemma. What other companies would you recommend?
TC and which role? Is the role at Google better? In which role or company do you see the opportunity to grow more?
Didn't get a formal offer yet, but their expected salary was way below my current comp so there was a mismatch between my level and the level they are recruiting for. I think I might have more growth opportunity at Stripe but not going to take steps back on my career. If the can match my comp i would probably give it a try
Why would you want to move below a level in comp or position? It is not like you are coming from any obscure company.
Stripe employees are leaving in droves. You should do some diligence. Culture has gone into the shitter last 2 years
