I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Stripe in Oct 2020
Interview
The process took a little less than 2 months. The overall process was great. Started with a hackerrank coding test, followed by a video interview, followed by two back to back video interviews and lastly a chat with an engineering manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were very practical and not something you usually find in coding interviews. The questions can be thought of as Leetcode Design category questions.
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.
