Process
One-hour OA on HackerRank. Tried the coding question but left one hidden test case wrong. No time for the second question, which was objective and had no word limit.
Questions
Asked to implement a mini Stripe, with transactions between Stripe and customers, and payments to merchants.
The second is an objective question about whether we could prevent negative payouts by refunding.
