I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stripe in Apr 2024
Interview
I had someone reaching out from Stripe indicating that they are interested to talk.
The interview felt more like a discussion and it was with the hiring manager. We both realized it was more of a strategy role than a product role. They wanted me to consider their product roles in future.

Question 1
Who is responsible for risk strategies and vision ?
What's your role as a PM ?
It was super well done. The recruiter was extremely informed, and proactively led me through the process. Every step of the way. I ultimately didn't get the role, and they offered a call to walk through why.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Stripe
Interview
Recruiter was top notch and extremely talented. Very meticulous and rigorous process but the team thoroughly prepares you for exactly what to expect, what to study, and what to focus on. The process leans more technical than most product interviews and that's because their product and users are technical. The interview definitely is a test to whether you can survive working at Stripe.
Call with recruiter. Call with hiring manager. Interview with peers. Peer interview was cancelled the morning of and the email came from a team member in india so I received it at 2am…
