I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (New York, NY) in Sep 2019
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter > phone interview with hiring manager > take home challenge/assignment > call to present/discuss assignment > on-site interviews > final phone interview w/Head of Sales
Overall, very thoughtful and purposeful interview process. The candidate experience at Stripe was one of the best I’ve had, leaving me with a strong first impression. My only issue is that with 12 interviews, it was very involved and time consuming. Would love to see the process streamlined going forward, perhaps looking into how to cut down the process by one or two interviews.
My recruiter, Francesca, was fantastic. She moved quickly, was insightful, flexible, great at following up, and very easy to work with throughout the process. She did a great job of setting me up for success, making sure I understood the roles and context of everyone I interviewed with.
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.
