Technical Operations Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
I applied online via LinkedIn. TA reached out to me for a phone screen, and afterwards I was scheduled for a first round consisting of two interviews: a 'code comprehension' exercise (45 mins) and a behavioral portion (30 mins). After which I was feeling pretty good, and got scheduled for the final round, which was five separate interviews, at least 45 mins each. I guess it was supposed to be a virtual onsite thing. Each of the five interviews covered different aspects: situational/behavioral and a couple more technical exercises. Thankfully, all the technical portions mimicked real work and were not LeetCode stuff. The TA shared as much details as they could to help me prepare for each interview and were very transparent about feedback, and also tried their best to accommodate all the schedules since there were so many interviews. Each of the panel were also quite easygoing and even encouraging, so even though this was probably the most rigorous interview process I've went through in my career so far, yet it was all for naught. At least the experience was positive.

- 1.0Great company, but leadership gaps in APAC S/A are hard to ignoreSolutions Architect • Current EmployeeOctober 24, 2025Pros: Stripe continues to be an amazing brand with strong products, smart people, and an innovative culture. The teams on the ground are generally talented and passionate about solving hard problems for customers. The mission and the pace of work are exciting, and there’s a lot of potential if the right leadership is in place.Cons: Unfortunately, the APAC region feels like it’s operating without a clear compass. My regional leader is articulate and polished, but beneath the surface, there’s a noticeable lack of depth and capability. This is true whether in understanding local markets, product strategy, or especially team dynamics. There’s a pattern of saying the right things without any real substance, and it’s become increasingly obvious to those working closest to the execution layer. Many peers have voiced similar concerns privately, not out of bitterness, but out of frustration that so much team potential is being wasted. Morale has suffered because teams want a capable and accountable leader, not vague presentations or empty motivational speeches. This individual is not right for this role. It’s puzzling that Stripe, a company that prides itself on hiring excellence, hasn’t addressed this gap with someone who has real operational and strategic capability in the region.
