The interview was difficult, especially the debugging round, which used complex repositories that were difficult to understand.
The interviewers were all very friendly. It was not your usual LeetCode-style interview, which is nice.

Opportunity to make a big impact, but the process is getting worse
Software Engineer • Current Employee
May 29, 2022
Pros: Stripe runs its teams very lean, which means each engineer has a lot of impact on their product and its users.
Teammates are almost universally great: kind, empathetic, and always competent.
Cons: As the company grows, the process is growing too, along with bureaucracy. The appetite for risk is decreasing. This is making it harder to ship features, but I think we'll figure things out in the next year.
