Are our standards for "toxic" and "terrible management" too low, when the only company without these is Etsy? Is their level of pampering the only acceptable environment now?
- exBarrelSpoiler 9y agoStripe is renowned for having a good corporate culture.
- blerpozut 9y agoStripe is a lot smaller than Airbnb (by headcount, but also financials probably). But it's growing quickly, and things have already started to degrade. So, it's coming. On the other hand, they are very savvy about branding and comms, so they should be able to defy reality for a while ;) Seriously, they don't get credit for how good they are at this. And they probably wouldn't want that credit if they got it! (You know that piece about FB's "far-reaching tentacles" from the other day? I wonder why we haven't seen anything similar about Stripe yet. Hmmmm...)
- pille 9y agoProbably some selection bias in the stories. It's not as much fun to read about a pretty good place to work.
- exBarrelSpoiler 9y agoMaybe the positive stories are from those who have experienced survivor bias
- caoilte 9y agorespecting your engineers is not pampering
- vertex-four 9y agoOr perhaps, alternatively, current common corporate structures tend to breed toxic environments and terrible management practices.
