Interview
Applied for a Software Engineer role at Stripe Singapore. The process started reasonably. Received a HackerRank coding assessment, completed it, and was invited to a 30-minute recruiter call. On that call I was told I would be moved to a pair programming round and that the recruiter would send over the details to book a slot.
That was over 3 weeks ago. Despite multiple follow-up emails from my end, I never received any response or update. No rejection, no rescheduling, no acknowledgement. Complete silence.
What stood out during the recruiter call itself: there was no background discussion, no fit assessment, no questions about my experience or what I was looking for. For a company of Stripe's caliber I expected at least a basic screening conversation. It felt more like a box-ticking exercise than a genuine evaluation.
Ghosting candidates after explicitly committing to next steps is poor candidate experience regardless of the outcome. A simple update either way would have been professional. Would not recommend applying if you value your time and expect basic communication standards from a recruiter.
