For some reason I was under the impression they used Slack at Stripe. Was I incorrect about this?

In either case, to what degree would Slack allow Stripe to replace email altogether? It seems set up to solve many of the problems their email system was created for.

This is awesome. Being a payment company, how does this influence your ISO 27001 / PCI DSS compliance efforts?

I encourage lists at work but the first objection is often around our "need to know" security policy, thanks to ISO.

I think this level of transparency is great while you are a startup. However I have concerns over the "early discussions" and "sensitive partnerships." In my experience that is where things have always managed to go the worst for the employee base as a whole, not in the minor day to day operations of the business.

Can you speak to how you bring transparency to things like this?

> Early stage discussions about topics that will affect Stripes personally (e.g. changing our approach to compensation).

Why is this excluded from transparency?

I have too much email of my own to go around and read someone else's, email transparency or not. In all fairness I think this is just creating a false sense of openness at a cost of potential severe information overload (or underfiltering).

Can I ask what internal wiki software you guys use at Stripe?
