I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2022
Interview
Standard interview process. Phone screen then "phone" interviews (actually VC) with hiring manager and a tech screen then a 4-hour onsite (actually VC) with "Sales and Customer Interactions", "Stakeholder Management ", "Hiring Manager Chat", and mock presentation, with a single 15 minute break for lunch.
Depending on your familiarity with the space and with Stripe's products, the recruiter recommends around 1.5 days of preparation for the presentation.
No feedback is provided to the candidate if a no-hire decision is made. After investing almost 6 weeks of time and > 2 full days of effort in the process I only received a "didn't find a strong fit" template email. Recruiter ignored my email asking for better feedback.

Question 1
Coding Test: Web browser presents an "accept-language" header string with space-separated language plus locale codes. Server has a list of supported language + locale codes. Find all the matches in order of browser's priority. Next step: What if the string is formatted unexpectedly (mixed-case or extra spaces)? What if the browser presents just the language and not the locale -- match against all possible server languages.
It was interview friendly process as it was a recruiter screening. It was a behavioral interview and we were both trying to figure out if the role was a good fit.
I had an HR chat first with general questions like "tell me about yourself". Then had a technical interview with the engineer team. It was a good experience overall. Didn't get an offer.

Interview
It was 5 interviews, including a coding test and a case study presentation. My process took over 8 weeks. Set up was pretty typical with technical, behavioral and cross-team questions. The case study was a presentation and a working demo using their API. The prompt had stated a basic, minimal implementation, but the feedback I got for my rejection was that my implementation was not advanced enough, even though it was functioning per the requirements.
