I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Stripe (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Initial 30 min call.
Then another 30 min call with sales manager.
Lengthy assignment.
30 min call with contact to go over assignment.
Onsite interview consists of mock sales call, new person conducts a typical interview, and finally a case study interview.
After I was declined offer they went completely dark on me. Ignored all contact and suggestions where I asked for feedback on interview criticism. Left a bad taste in my mouth and extremely unprofessional way to treat someone who’s committed time/effort towards them. Very easy to respond with an answer.
Recruiter screen super positive, but peer account executive interview was surprising. When you hear the product feedback loop is largely informal/personal and relationship based with product managers. I’m curious how the team plans to scale those insights as the head-count grows. It might be the Account Executive wasn't aligned on Stripe.

Interview
Stripe's Dublin-based hiring appears rigid, with a strong preference for local Irish candidates—even for specialized EMEA roles. The process inconsistently advances high-volume English-only positions but quickly rejects qualified applicants for EU market-specific ones, suggesting early screening prioritizes local Irish hires over broader merit or fit for the roles focusing on EU market.
