No managers? I'm curious how Stripe compares culturally to Valve, GitHub, and Zaarly.
If I ever decide to work for someone else, I'd want to choose a decentralized place like those.
- cristinacordova 14y ago(I work at Stripe) Patrick answered a question on Quora about why Stripe doesn't have product managers and the cultural aspects behind that decision: http://qr.ae/TFjJK http://qr.ae/TFjJK
- bsimpson 14y agoThanks - I'll take a look!
- jonknee 14y agoHopefully there's an accounting/compliance manager...
- zaidf 14y agoI wonder if it is easier to go without PMs where you have a focused product with a very specific type of users, often developers. In that case, your developers can more easily relate to the company's customers. On the flip side, imagine a product that is used by accountants, doctors and other diverse users. I can see it being more difficult for devs to juggle coding and product management.
