Process
The interviewer was not paying attention at all, he only cared about the final solution. There were even some necessary snippets of code that I could not copy and paste as it was disabled.
Questions
Some React forms for encoding and decoding strings using a given algorithm. The idea was using React state properly.

Stripe Work Experiences

Favouritism and crazy politics
Senior Software Egineer • Former Employee
November 11, 2024
Pros: Good pay is what I thought, but until we go IPO, I doubt the stock is that valuable to me, as I left a public company to join Stripe.
Cons: Very high on manager favoritism. If you are not your manager's favorite, you are out, even though you add a lot of value. There are many people who don't add any value in the GTM org. Definitely needs layoffs on this team. Maybe evaluate these managers and their teams.
Middle managers run the show here.
Amazon-kind of crazy politics. Managers take credit for employees' work. Actually, most of them are from Amazon and just talk about the bad culture they bring along.
