I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2019
Interview
Applied online, invited to do an online coding test, compared to most of the other companies, this focused much more on general engineering skills and less on algorithms and data structures. Then invited to do a phone interview which lasted an hour during which a few personal questions and a long coding question was asked. Again little focus on efficiency and more on getting things working.
There was a recruiter call where they told me what to expect for the next couple rounds. I had a call with the hiring manager and technicals with 2 other engineers.
I applied and got an interview offer in about 2 weeks. I interviewed with someone from the US even though i applied for Bucharest. A bit of introduction and HR style questions in the beggining, followed by 2 problems.
The first step is a HackerRank challenge, typically 60 minutes long, consisting of one question broken into 3 parts/sub-tasks. The question is implementation-heavy rather than a typical dynamic programming or graph puzzle.
