Pros

"You get to work with incredibly large and complex datasets, which is a fantastic learning experience. I've had the opportunity to use a modern tech stack (SQL, Python, Tableau) and really sharpen my skills." "The team is smart and generally very collaborative. It's easy to ask questions and get help from senior analysts and data scientists." "Compensation and benefits are competitive for the industry. The company does a good job of taking care of its employees in that regard." "The work feels impactful. You can genuinely see how your analysis influences business decisions, which is very rewarding."

Cons

The workload can be intense, and deadlines are often tight. Expect to have multiple high-priority projects running at the same time." "Requests from other departments can sometimes be vague or change last minute, which requires a lot of back-and-forth to clarify requirements." "While the work is interesting, some of the day-to-day tasks like data cleaning and report generation can become repetitive." "Work-life balance can be a struggle during peak periods like end-of-quarter reporting. It's not always a 9-to-5 job."

Pros

The work is very high impact and there are lots of opportunities to learn if you're not already familiar with the fintech space. Most of the big projects I've been on so far have been fun to work on. There are also a lot of talented, kind, and helpful engineers at Stripe who are really nice to learn from. I really enjoy my manager and the folks on my team. The money + bonuses are ~ok~. Pretty standard for a pre-IPO unicorn, but the goal is that there will be a big pay off later (fingers crossed).

Cons

- The work life balance is *bad*. For how many products Stripe has, we are a very lean company. Too lean. There's just a lot of work, and very very tight deadlines, very fast paced, and not enough engineers and product managers to do all of it. If you want WLB as an engineer, join an infrastructure team, not a product team. - There is little to no investment in making the engineering org more diverse. This was surprising to me because of a lot of public facing company statements, but don't be fooled like I was. People (at least in the eng org) do not care about diversity. - HR sucks. And of course they would, I guess. But I had a really negative experience with HR where I walked away feeling completely devalued and gaslit. - Dev environments kinda suck and make the work a lot slower than it should be.
