Process
The recruiter contacted me after seeing my application and went over the process and what to expect.
I was scheduled for my first technical interview shortly after the discussion with the recruiter.
The interviews are meant to be less data structuring and more problem-solving, collaborative, and open book.
Good test coverage is encouraged.

Stripe Work Experiences
- 3.0Good Work, Bad ManagementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaOctober 23, 2025Pros: Good engineering group, freedom for work.Cons: Too many middle managers, too much focus on nonexistent metrics polluting the actual work being done. Small changes developers turn in are shipped via email. I've seen ship mails where they changed a data type from integer to double and found some wins.

Woo hoo! * Nasty dog-eat-dog culture, and a matter of time before external perception catches up with internal. * Internal Blind is a bloodbath, worse than Amazon according to folks who’ve worked at both firms.
