> 10) I call up a senior leader in the office I applied to, an acquaintance of mine. His answer: "don't come. It's a mess and a revolving door of people". I was shocked with the response.

Stripe is preparing for an IPO, so naturally they will have some chaos in an effort to balloon it as much as possible.

> Stripe is preparing for an IPO,

I was thinking the same but this interview from Stripe’s CEO says otherwise.

    Based on this interview, not sure who will be able to afford to buy $STRP when they do decide to go public. Nice for them, sad for the rest of us.

      you can buy fractional shares on just about every platform now. i bought $10 worth of nvidia stock today on RH, even though a full share trades for like ~$250 (i didnt pay that close attention)

Why on earth are you making excuses for a public company?

    I am not, I was making an observation about the "It's a mess and a revolving door of people" comment. The recruiting practice that OP described is not acceptable for any company, public or private.
