Possibly the worst interview process I've ever had. I was contacted by a recruiter and had an initial call. The recruiter sounded enthusiastic and asked me for times to talk to the Hiring Manager.

I sent over some times and waited to hear back from the recruiting coordinator. I sent a follow-up a few days later: Silence. I followed up again a few days later: Silence.

Eventually, two weeks later, I followed up with the recruiter asking what the deal was. The recruiter sent me a generic decline email. I asked for more specific feedback, and the recruiter said the role had been filled but asked if I wanted to interview for a similar role in Seattle. I said I'd be happy to and sent over times again. Silence again.

I've never met a ruder recruiter in my life. I get Stripe is doing really well and has a great candidate pool to pull from, but there's no excuse for being rude.

It doesn't really matter. I didn't get to a proper interview stage.
