Pros & Cons
Stripe
- Engineering culture is elite — code quality and writing culture are best-in-class
- Top compensation in fintech — competitive base, equity, and benefits
- Perfectionism can slow shipping — high bar sometimes means slower velocity
- The 2022-23 layoffs affected morale — company has been rebuilding confidence
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
Stripe
Choose Stripe if you want elite engineering culture with top comp — but perfectionism can slow shipping velocity.
