I think that's definitely a danger, but by being very cognizant of the peril you can work hard to make sure that candidates you reject are being rejected for the right reasons. We work very actively to recruit a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and I feel that this has been extremely valuable to us to date.
- jusben1369 14y agoWell I applaude you gdb - Stripe is a very well regarded startup so you're doing a lot of things right. Doesn't your "Veto" though negate the ability to ensure they're rejected for the right reasons? If you feel as though a Veto is for the wrong reason do you challenge the "Vetoer" and get it overturned etc?
- gdb 14y agoThe latter. By veto, we mean that we won't hire someone over a current employee's strong objections. But we always debate and push back on those objections, and more than once we've had people change their minds after this kind of discussion.
