Process
I was asked some LeetCode-type questions. They weren't that hard, though. There were four or five steps, so I had to resolve them quickly. The interviewer was nice and gave hints when they saw that I was blocked.

Pros: Stripe relies on a huge range of technology to build the best commerce tools available on the internet. In my roles as a software engineer, that has given me the opportunity to work on machine learning infrastructure, user-facing big data products, and a sophisticated financial backend, among other projects.
The company does worthwhile work. I'm proud that we've helped put hundreds of thousands of folks in business online. And I love that we're powering platforms blazing a trail for creative people to earn a middle-class living online.
Cons: There are always bumps along the road for any growing company. The continual changes in infrastructure, tools, documentation, and process can be disorienting at best and frustrating at worst.

Pros: Great benefits. Lots of opportunity for stretching yourself and for growth, if work is your only time commitment.
Cons: Lots of processes, lots of pivoting between projects.
I think the experience may be different for someone advanced in their career or just out of college, but as someone in the middle of their career journey, it feels impossible to get ahead, or even stay at pace. Growth is expected, but there’s no one to help you learn how to grow if that’s something that wasn’t a priority at previous employers.
Imposter syndrome is widespread.
