I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
I interviewed for the Analyst role in the Corporate Finance and Strategy team (not entry-level, Analyst have 4-7yrs work experience).
A friend internally connected me with a team member in that team and I had an informational interview with them. This team member internally referred me for this open position. I got reached out to by the recruiting manager for a brief call about compensation, visa, availability and commute. Next, I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. We discussed more about the role, responsibilities, the fact that Stripe has a very flat hierarchy structure (Analyst>Individual Contributor>Executive) and their Analyst programme is very new. The Finance and Strategy team is only about 40-people strong and thus the work would be varied. After this call, the recruiter reached out to let me know that they wanted to progress me tot he next step, which is the case study written project. I received the fictional data file with prompts and my task was to write a 3-5 page memorandum directed at the executive level and provide an excel file with supporting calculations and analysis. I had one week to complete this. It wasn't so much hard... but very vague. The prompts were really broad and the data very limited (monthly data of stripe's product usage for two years across ~30 merchants). I submitted this and then received an email from the recruiter that the hiring manager and team will review and let me know if I get through to the final stage of onsite interviews. Three days later I got a brief two line email from the recruiter that they had decided to move forward with another candidate that displayed advanced excel skills. I requested for feedback but was told they couldn't provide anything more specific.
