A great deal of your fulfillment at any company is determined by the extent to which the values of the people and the organization align with your own.
It’s hard to assess culture from the outside and most companies are not good at describing their own nature. (How do fish describe water?) They also have incentives to say things that sound attractive rather than things that are true.
We’ve tried to assemble this guide to Stripe with both challenges in mind. This is our best attempt to share an honest description of our culture today. We hope you find it useful in deciding whether Stripe is the kind of place in which you’d like to spend your time.
WRAP-UP
Stripe processes billions of dollars a year for millions of businesses around the world. Half of Americans purchased something from a Stripe merchant in 2016. We handle more than 100 million API requests per day.
But we’ve set our sights higher: only a small fraction of the world’s commerce is mediated through the internet today. We seek not only to increase global participation in the online economy but also to rethink how that economy works. We need more Stripes to help us get there. We hope you’ll be one of them.
