Culture and values

How we work

Stripe’s operating principles guide how we interact with each other and our users, translating our values and beliefs into concrete actions.

Users first.

We have a weighty obligation to the businesses built on Stripe and the everyday people they serve.

Move with urgency and focus.

A bias for action speeds our learning and delights our users. Focus on what matters most, make fast initial progress, and iterate toward the best outcome.

Be meticulous in your craft.

Doing things well is in Stripe’s DNA. We value craftsmanship for its own sake, and are fervently committed to producing surprisingly great work.

Seek feedback.

We value intellectual honesty and look for other Stripes with the expertise to refine our ideas, challenge us, and deepen our understanding across the business.

Deliver outstanding results.

Stripes are high achievers with a drive to succeed. We take end-to-end accountability for seeing our work through and delivering on our commitments.

Perks and benefits

Health and wellbeing

We offer comprehensive mental, physical, and medical health plans. Stripes also have access to healthy food at the office.

Family First

Our robust programs put Stripes and their families first such as providing fertility benefits and generous parental leave.

Training and Mentorship

Internal and external expert-led hands-on courses on things like project management fundamentals and macroeconomics.

Remote Work Opportunities

Option to work remotely dependent on role.

Promoting access through representation

Lowering barriers to opportunity starts within our own walls. We have numerous Stripe Communities: employee-created resource groups that partner closely with our People and executive teams to advance diversity, equity and inclusion throughout Stripe’s culture and processes. While Stripes today already come from a wide range of backgrounds, we’ll need an even more diverse group of talented individuals to join us from around the world to serve our users and build products that drive economic growth.
