Stripe hiring issues make some lose job offers

Right. That's why I won't sign a job offer until the background checks are done. Not that there's anything of concern: every one has come back clean as can be, but I just don't like to take any chances.

Companies usually fuss about it, but I insist, and among quite a few orgs over the past 25 years I've never had one pass because I refused to sign prior to background check.

I made this mistake with my last move. Everything 100% done, contract signed, put in notice etc. Then a couple of days later they want a background check. Sure, I have no history, but what if I had? Or what if someone with the same name had?

Lesson learned.
