I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
Referred by Stripe employee and then received a phone call with the recruiter to understand the position and the team.
Scheduled a phone screen interview for 1 hour with one interview question and two follow up questions (Only took 30 minutes for whole phone screen interview).
Scheduled an virtual onsite interview for coding, debuting, system design and behavior questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone Screen: Coding (1 hour)
Virtual Onsite:
- Coding (1 hour)
- Debug (1 hour)
- System Design (45 minutes)
- Behavior (1 hour)
- Coding (1 hour)
Coding is easier than LeetCode questions, more like real life problems. No requests for the best algorithm, only if it works and codes should be runnable
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stripe (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2026
Interview
First applied online, contacting the recruiter as got rejected previously with no response, even though my CV matched a lot of what they were looking for.
Had a call with the recruiter and set up an interview for a few days later. Joined the call, and no one showed. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, as it was just after a public holiday, though I have contacted them already a few times to reschedule, and there has been no response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Salary expectations and just some relevant experience
1st round – HR screening:
The interviewer was excellent. She explained everything very clearly, managed the conversation well, and asked relevant questions.
2nd round – Pair programming:
You could use your own IDE. However, I have to say that the interviewer’s English was quite difficult to understand due to a very strong Indian accent. I struggled to understand around 50% of what he was saying.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe in Aug 2025
Interview
Interview is split into two parts:
- One initial coding assessment
- Five Interviews which include technical and behavioural assessments
The code screening is not technically challenging, but time management is important. I got disqualified for running out of time even though I was very close to a working solution.
The recruiters are quite helpful, and do provide feedback even after rejection.

String manipulation question. Had to parse a large string that comes in a format similar to csv.
