I applied online. I interviewed at Stripe (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2025
Interview
Very smooth process that took a few weeks to finish the interview loop. Not leetcode style questions. Questions involved cleaning and parsing data. Bug Bounty in a public repository.
The recruiter was extremely helpful and kept me updated throughout the process. The interviewers were friendly and professional.
Overall positive interview experience

Question 1
- Parse Data
- Bugbounty - This caught me off guard, the repo that was used had a language parser.
-
classic check in call with recruiter before 45 min tech screen. From my understanding it would've had more parts than that but unfortunately I didn't get far enough along in the process...

Question 1
Similar question to Leetcode Bank transactions but with 4 parts of increasing difficulty
The interview process was very cahotic. For the JS one, they ask you to prepare yourself a project that you could run in local, so you do it. When the interview starts, they bring you a total new project, that you may or may not have the correct setup to run, they don't care about it. Also they tell you that is totally fine to use StackOverflow but on the results they tell you that they reject you because that...
Had an initial call with a recruiter where we discussed past experiences and what I was looking for in my next role. Recruiter was pleasant and the conversation was laidback.
