Process
Stripe strikes once again. This is the second time interviewing with them in the last 3-4 years, and they make the same mistakes interviewing candidates.
The design interview was easy, but the interviewer clearly had an area he wanted me to arrive at and only wanted to focus on that. Presumably, that was his area of expertise, which also didn't have much to do with the area I was interviewing for.
