An interesting idea. I'd like to see some numbers on how many teams does Stripe get applying for jobs this way. (I'd love to also see measures on how well the teams hired this way perform, and how well are employees retained, but that seems hard to measure.)
I am somewhat skeptical that this will be a great success. Just because a team performed well in one environment, it doesn't mean it will continue to do well in new circumstances (unless they are hired as external or independent consultants, as others have suggested in this thread).
As an individual looking for a job, I would also want to know if applying as a team lowers or increases my chances of getting an offer.
We've got a broad and meaningful vision: to improve the quality and efficiency of scientific research. Because we're still a small team, you'll be making a major contribution to the fulfillment of that vision from the moment you start.
