Process
I completed a 60-minute online coding assessment on HackerRank for the Software Engineer role.
The task involved processing payment events, tracking changes to each payment’s state, and returning a summary. It required carefully following the specifications and handling multiple authorization and capture events for the same payment.

Pros: A glass door is making me fill this out to see reviews for another job. Stripe had smart people and a product that was obviously doing well.
Cons: Very little work-life balance. Software engineers do a lot of product management because of how complex the product is. Product leadership is poor. They'll regularly throw 400 people at a project only to kill it a year later.
