Standard process, this was a few years back. 1. Recruiter reached out to me over email. 2. Set up time to chat about the role. 3. Received coding phone screen invitation. 4. Didn't pass. 5. Got a rejection email after that.
The interview took a week. The first round was a pair programming session, involving a normal String parsing question with different use cases. Preparing Java Strings would be sufficient for the interview; it was a pretty straightforward question.
I interviewed at Stripe after graduating from a coding bootcamp in Chicago for a mid-range position. This was in the early stages of Stripe launching a locally based team in Chicago, Illinois.
