Pros
Genuinely calm pace — sprint-style ownership without the hero culture. Mentorship from staff+ folks is real. People care about craft and won't ship something they're not proud of.
Cons
Compensation lags US-headquartered peers (Stripe sets a high bar). Design ladder is still being formalised, so career-pathing requires self-advocacy.

Pros
Strong technical bar without ego. On-call is fair and respected. Real product-engineering culture — engineers ship features, not just JIRA tickets.
Cons
After Stripe acquisition, some processes calcified. Smaller blast radius for individual decisions than before.

Recruiter screen → hiring manager → 90-min craft round → founder chat. The craft round was the heaviest part — open critique of one of my case studies plus a 30-min live exercise.
