When I interviewed at Stripe last year, some people made weird, obliquely braggy comments about how compulsively they worked. Other folks were great, though.
Overall, it felt like a once-decent culture rapidly turning rancid.

This is just a terrible workplace smell. Especially at a company that lacks a compelling mission, that is just another payment processor trying to get their 2-3% cut from as much of the market as possible.
People, please don't expect to find your life's meaning working at Stripe. For fuck's sake.

- fatnoah 4y agoYeah, that very much sounded like my first startup where someone leaving at 3pm would receiving a some version of a "half day today?" quip on the way out the door.
