I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Thorough and very thought provoking process. There were five stages: call with hiring manager, written strategy assignment, video presentation defending the strategy assignment and analyzing your thinking behind it, call with senior sales manager, onsite interview. The onsite interview is rigorous and well-run. There are six interviews over the course of roughly 4 hours, including a meal.
It is imperative that you speak with your recruiter about the onsite interview specifics. It is also very helpful to speak with your recruiter about the other stages as well, but the onsite definitely requires a fair amount of preparations. As mentioned in other reviews, Stripe does rely on a management consulting framework, and it is very helpful to be familiar with management consulting questions, styles, and types of case studies. I found the studying to be really interesting, and I'm glad that I had been so thorough. Even with my stack of notecards, I realize now that I could have learned more about Stripe and its value to its customers before the onsite.

Question 1
How do you handle a very unhappy customer? How do you sell to different types of executives?
Normal process of a few rounds of speaking to different people. What sets them aside is that they “ghost” you when it’s all over with. You go to lengths to prepare for these interviews to be met with silence by the Recruitor. Very unprofessional in my opinion.

Question 1
What are my strengths/weaknesses? Why I had gaps? My sales experience?
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.
