I applied online. I interviewed at Stripe (Singapore)
Interview
The interview process at Stripe was pretty unique. Instead of conveniently tossing out online algorithmic assessments like every other company, Stripe's assessment seemed to be designed in a manner that was reflective of a software engineer's day-to-day responsibilities, evaluating candidates in terms of "truer" metrics like code maintainability and readability - something which I appreciated very much. Through my written correspondence with the company, I also formed the impression that the company cared as much about the process as candidates did. Overall, I think Stripe has a great recruitment process, and through it, have come to be very impressed by the company as a whole.

Question 1
Pretty much the same as the other reviews have described
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Second round technical interview, called with an engineer. Went through multi part technical question about trees + nodes, leetcode medium to hard ish difficulty. Got notified that i moved on to the final round interview afterwards.
There were 3 interviews.
The first was a 1-hour technical interview that tests a Leetcode-style coding problem.
The second was two back-to-back 1-hour long interviews. The first of the two is similar to the first. The second is an integration interview where you have to write code to fetch (usually HTTP request) and process the data and produce some result.
The final interview is a 30-min long behavioural interview with an engineering manager.
Interviews focus on code quality and correctness rather than performance, write test cases during the interviews as quick tests for correctness.
Technical Interview screen, did not pass to get to second round. One long question with three parts and many test cases. Each part with directions and next part building upon previous code.
