I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe in Nov 2019
Interview
hackerrank OA -> one technical interview (zoom) -> two back to back interview (zoom) -> manager BQ. I'm still wating for the results. The overall experience was really great and moving fast. I think Stripe's evaluation focuses on clean code and readability.
There was a recruiter call where they told me what to expect for the next couple rounds. I had a call with the hiring manager and technicals with 2 other engineers.
I applied and got an interview offer in about 2 weeks. I interviewed with someone from the US even though i applied for Bucharest. A bit of introduction and HR style questions in the beggining, followed by 2 problems.
The first step is a HackerRank challenge, typically 60 minutes long, consisting of one question broken into 3 parts/sub-tasks. The question is implementation-heavy rather than a typical dynamic programming or graph puzzle.
