I applied online. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
1 Round OA + 1 Round Phone Interview + 2 Round Tech Interview + 1 Manager Call, the coding questions are quite LC easy level, the company pays much attention to the communication, testing and practical debugging skills. They don't even want the optimal solution.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: why Stripe? The coding questions are all related to their productions. Spend some time reading their tech blogs and apis would help.
There was a recruiter call where they told me what to expect for the next couple rounds. I had a call with the hiring manager and technicals with 2 other engineers.
I applied and got an interview offer in about 2 weeks. I interviewed with someone from the US even though i applied for Bucharest. A bit of introduction and HR style questions in the beggining, followed by 2 problems.
The first step is a HackerRank challenge, typically 60 minutes long, consisting of one question broken into 3 parts/sub-tasks. The question is implementation-heavy rather than a typical dynamic programming or graph puzzle.
