      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stripe (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Got contacted by the recruiter from LinkedIn, the interview process was pretty standard, one phone screen and then 5 rounds of virtual onsite (coding, system design, BQ, Integration, Bug Squash, etc.)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Their on-site interview was different than most other companies. I'd like to mention two rounds, one "Integration", one "Bug Squash", which both required you to download some code source from git repo and you would need a local environment setup to run. Integration round need you to understand HTTP Rest calls, parsing some Json and sending requests to some API server, I managed to get the code completed with some googling of new libs/apis. Bug Squash round need you to understand their code base and fix multiple bugs based on some test case failures.I was able to fix partial of those, what I could tell was that some bugs tend to be easy but some could be difficult, especially when code was compact, lack of comments, or it touched some advanced componments of a coding language which you probably never/rarely used. There's no much need to prepare hard for their interview and I didn't expect to pass interview from the beginning, just try your luck.

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Stripe

      Interview

      First an OA which is very hard, you have to be really fast. Then HR call and then phone round. Unfortunately I got unlucky and my interviewer was doing something else while doing the interview, he was muted and I had to ask for his attention twice. Of course in the end he said I did very well and one day later I was rejected. The phone round is not particularly difficult but you have to be fast and talking too much will cost you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They have a bunch of questions about string parsing, more often than not you will need to read a CSV so know how to do that, and know how to use the split function.
