I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe in Apr 2022
Interview
An initial hiring call with a recruitment manager was very pleasant. We discussed experience, expected pay and next steps.
Following on from that was a series of 2 "Product Sense" interviews with Product Managers who were employed by Strip. One focused on a scenario delivered by the interviewer. One focused on an app of my choice that I'd like to improve.

Question 1
The product sense meeting on the scenario chosen by the interviewer was "Given $10 Million and the task to improve the public's perception of air travel".
Went through recruiter screening and first case interview. Case interview was tough, relies on you having rehearsed a structure and practiced a lot (which I didn’t). Open ended, and very vague.
Advised that the process was 5+ weeks long. Lots of stages. Seems bloated and slow - not promising if you want to join a fast moving company.
Did the assesmsent first, it was straight forward, string parsing and authentication question, was very long, Make sure to understand the question properly before you start. It took about 40 mins to type my code out, didnt have a lot of time to debug afterwards
Recruiter is very clear about process. Interviewing is very time consuming. There are various phases. Screening is the first step and then you go into the interview cycle where various elements of the PM role are analyzed.

Question 1
About products I liked, the expectation was that I would be able to talk about them with a broad product sense.
