I applied online. I interviewed at Stripe in Oct 2025
Interview
The total interview lasted exactly 1 hour 10 mins. First 10 mins was introductions followed by a 45 minute coding problem. Not DSA/Leetcode style, I was given a function description and told to implement it. Followed by 15 mins of questions and answers.
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.
