I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews prior to an on-site. HR was slow and seemed busy; every time, I had to send the same message twice to get a response. The on-site interview was a great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The same questions on Glassdoor. (Allocating and deallocating memory)
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.
