Just a reminder that Stripe's CEO is Jack Dorsey (aka the CEO of Twitter). For people who take ethics into account when choosing where to work this may be something you want to factor in.

EDIT: Oops, got my fintech CEOs mixed up. Sorry about that :-)

You're thinking of Square. Stripe's CEO is Patrick Collison.

Stripe's CEO is not Jack Dorsey it's Patrick Collison[1] I think you're referring to square[2].

Out of curiosity what is your issue with Jack/Twitter ethics? Too much censoring or not enough?

I'm not sure it really matters - and not just because Dorsey isn't CEO of Stripe. Whatever you think of him, whether you'd agree with them or not, the advice is good: you may want to bear your thoughts in mind, whatever they are, before applying to work at a company for which he is CEO.

(Of course, if you're careful to frame it equivocally, as hopefully I've managed to do, it does come out sounding a bit, well... obvious. But that's fine. Sometimes good advice is obvious.)
