Process
The OA is 60 minutes, featuring one long coding question with three parts. This is not a typical LeetCode problem, and time is tight. It is hard to finish using C++ or Java. Only passing all test cases will get you to the next step, a technical screen.
Questions
Odd coding problem, long question.

Supportive Team, Fast Pace
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Oyster Point, United States
September 9, 2025
Pros: Incredibly collaborative and supportive coworkers, fast-paced and challenging environment. Work-life balance depends heavily on the team and its projects, though.
Cons: If you're not someone who can take initiative on their own or become self-sufficient, it's very possible to fall behind.

Great Place if You're Bought In
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
October 13, 2022
Pros: Compensation - Base + Bonus + Benefits are quite high compared to others. Stock is high too, albeit mostly illiquid for now.
Growth - Tremendous opportunity to grow, especially as an Engineer.
People - Incredibly smart and ambitious people, mostly kind.
You're given responsibility as an IC engineer that would usually encompass many other roles. This isn't for everyone. But if you enjoy understanding products end-to-end and like the idea of being more than a "code monkey", Stripe is a great place to be.
Cons: WLB - Can be hit or miss. This goes with being full of incredibly smart and ambitious people, though.
Managers - Lots of turnover.
Reorgs - Way too many in the last year. We basically hired a crazy amount of people in the last year and don't know what to do with all of them.
