Why this template works

Craft
quality bar is legendary

Stripe is famous for its exceptionally high craft bar. Promotion cases must show not just impact, but meticulous attention to quality, polish, and user experience. Shipping something good isn't enough - it needs to be excellent.

2 cycles/yr
biannual reviews

Stripe runs performance reviews twice a year. Promotion decisions are made through calibration sessions where managers and leaders evaluate candidates against the expectations of the next level.
