I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (Berlin) in Aug 2021
Interview
I was invited for a screen call. The Interviewer was very nice during the meeting and I answered the questions very well. But I think they needed a person who could be available sooner. And the fact relocation will take 3 to 4 month , they send me a rejection email after 3 days. I asked the interviewer if my assumption is right or not, but he never answered me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me a product that you are proud of delivering?
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
