A favorite Sunday afternoon activity -- candidates signing their offers! Here's some quotes (from today) from an engineering manager choosing to join Stripe. πŸ–ŠοΈ
"A couple unique traits that probably pulled Stripe over the line for me:"
β€œThe folks I know from [old co] who work there are uniformly really great and among some of my favorite past coworkers (good signifier of the technical bar and cultural filter aligning with mine)."
β€œI’ve been really impressed by Stripe Press (which is also a good signifier of the kind of culture promoted there).”
β€œThe really strong ownership mentality everybody showed was also a huge positive."
β€œPart of my interview was writing up a document pointing out friction I hit in onboarding to the product, and the issues I brought up got fixed that day.” (!!)
β€œAll the transparency from my chats with you showed a lot of trust (and really strong business sense)."
β€œReally appreciated all the time and info as I was making the decision.”
β€œAlso nice that the company thinks and plans that far ahead. Glad to hear I won’t run out of things to do!”
[And, after some light banter on how much there is to fix...] "Making weirdly duct-taped things fabulous is my favorite. Looking forward to it! πŸ˜„β€
