Process
The Stripe interview focuses more on clean code and less on the optimal time complexity of the algorithm.
Interviewers and recruiters are super nice people. This seems a top company to work at.
Key difference: You can use Stack Overflow, Google, or other resources during your interviews. It is encouraged by the Stripe team.
Questions
-
Coding sample via HackerRank, 90 minutes with one coding question and a follow-up open-ended question about extending the case.
-
Virtual interview; you can use CoderPad or your local IDE. They will ask you to share your screen and solve a problem, then implement unit testing.
They strongly recommend not using C/C++ in these interviews. I have experience with C++ and Python and feel that going with Python was the best choice.
