Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Online assessment, multiple parts, each part building on the next. If passing move to virtual onsite with 2-3 more interviews. Never made it there as the online assessment was quite difficult with many parts to implement in 60 minutes.
Questions
Simulated real world engineering problem where one part builds upon the next.
Heavy use of built-in libraries, and string/array parsing.

Pros: Everyone is incredibly empathetic and user-driven. The way people interact with each other is overwhelmingly positive and supportive.
The company is moving fast and able to achieve many of the lofty goals it sets for itself.
Work-life balance is very strong, with the exception of on-call rotations.
Cons: Personal career growth is not always attainable as priorities shift around.
While Stripe allows employees to have plenty of personal time, there is not a culture of doing events or offsites to raise morale, so you are not always close to your coworkers.
