Process
Interviewer spoke with a thick Indian accent, which was almost incomprehensible. I’m surprised I passed the interview, given that I had to repeatedly ask them to speak clearly. I rejected the offer as it’s a largely South Asian team, which is remote from the typical Stripe culture.
Questions
Typical algorithm questions. However, they are not really LeetCode-style.
