I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stripe (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Phone call with hiring manager, then call with recruiter, then two 45 minute case study interviews, then write up, then a loop. Takes over a month. In my case, I didn't get past the case study questions, even though I've done well on them at every other company recently.
Went through recruiter screening and first case interview. Case interview was tough, relies on you having rehearsed a structure and practiced a lot (which I didn’t). Open ended, and very vague.
Advised that the process was 5+ weeks long. Lots of stages. Seems bloated and slow - not promising if you want to join a fast moving company.
Did the assesmsent first, it was straight forward, string parsing and authentication question, was very long, Make sure to understand the question properly before you start. It took about 40 mins to type my code out, didnt have a lot of time to debug afterwards
Recruiter is very clear about process. Interviewing is very time consuming. There are various phases. Screening is the first step and then you go into the interview cycle where various elements of the PM role are analyzed.

Question 1
About products I liked, the expectation was that I would be able to talk about them with a broad product sense.
