I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe
Interview
The interview process consists of multiple steps—some technical, some analytical, some more creative—all seem intentionally designed to serve a specific purpose. This is not your standard sales organization and I think that you will find the same is true of the interview process. Standard peer-screen at the onset of the process, followed by technical write-ups, verbal delivery of said write-up (all very logical considering the nature of the role) and then the final onsite panel consisting of a cross-functional group of peers and superiors. The shared-goal across the team seems to be to find people who want to contribute to the shared-objectives of the entire organization, as opposed to those who are solely focused on hitting their individual sales targets. Be prepared to role play during the onsite; and if you've genuinely bought into the vision of Stripe, share that too.

Question 1
If you were a start-up ride-sharing company entering a new market, what are the first couple of actions you would take to get started in that new geo?
Normal process of a few rounds of speaking to different people. What sets them aside is that they “ghost” you when it’s all over with. You go to lengths to prepare for these interviews to be met with silence by the Recruitor. Very unprofessional in my opinion.

Question 1
What are my strengths/weaknesses? Why I had gaps? My sales experience?
Recruiter screen super positive, but peer account executive interview was surprising. When you hear the product feedback loop is largely informal/personal and relationship based with product managers. I’m curious how the team plans to scale those insights as the head-count grows. It might be the Account Executive wasn't aligned on Stripe.
