I applied online. I interviewed at Stripe in Jan 2025
Interview
Very good. The process seems designed to actually introduce you to the kind of workflows you'll be involved with working at Stripe. There was an OA on hackerrank, followed by a pair programming interview round, followed by a two hour final technical round consisting of two one-hour back-to-back sessions; the first was another pair programming setup, the second was an integration challenge where you had to work with an existing codebase.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions focused on string and data manipulation to mold and extract information. They would also be completely revealed in stages, to see how well you can fit the code you wrote up till now to account for the new subtask.
Codesignal online assessment followed by technical interviews then standard behavioral where you should focus on their operating principles. Consider tradeoffs in your past projects. Did not have to do system design.
Stripe is not a “grind LeetCode and vibe” company.
They heavily value:
• Clear thinking
• Product intuition
• Code quality & correctness
• Ability to reason about ambiguous real-world systems
• Communication while thinking
The bar is high, but it’s thoughtful, not random.
Had series of questions that built on top of each other kind of like a a,b,c part to questions that each had you do a different feature that's all related.
