I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Standard FAANG type interview process. Initial recruiter screen, case study type interview they call "product sense", technical take home and then an onsite. Recruiters were really friendly, but it is hard to get in the door and probably requires a referral or recruiter to really root for you

Question 1
Recruiter screen was very much about previous experience, case was to walk through thought process to build a platform to teach people about a sport you like
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.
