I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (Singapore) in May 2021
Interview
Quite an interesting process - three parts:
1. interview with recruiter
2. written assessment
3. rounds of interviews with wider team
Essentially a mix of hypothetical and behavioural questions (typical ones you'd expect from a sales role). A lot of "hunting" skills needed for this kind of role, so make sure to prepare answers for that kind of hypothetical question in the interview. Overall really enjoyed the experience, but unfortunately didn't get the role. I really appreciated that the recruiter told me that they would be happy to provide feedback for how I could do better throughout the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to influence people.
Normal process of a few rounds of speaking to different people. What sets them aside is that they “ghost” you when it’s all over with. You go to lengths to prepare for these interviews to be met with silence by the Recruitor. Very unprofessional in my opinion.

Question 1
What are my strengths/weaknesses? Why I had gaps? My sales experience?
Recruiter screen super positive, but peer account executive interview was surprising. When you hear the product feedback loop is largely informal/personal and relationship based with product managers. I’m curious how the team plans to scale those insights as the head-count grows. It might be the Account Executive wasn't aligned on Stripe.
