I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (Berlin) in Oct 2023
Interview
I have applied online and got reply from the recruiter the same day. But interestingly the first round was technical coding interview. After passing that, I had an interview with the recruiter and after that I was invited for a virtual onsite which consists of 5 separate interview rounds(Programming, Integration(still coding), System Design, Bug Squash and Manager interview) and it lasts total of 5 hours. They also mention that I can divide the onsite to two days but I decided to do it in single day. In the end, I didn't get an offer but I've enjoyed the process. Recruiter was very responsive from the first moment of my application and throughout the process. They even offered an short feedback meeting afterwards, which I really appreciate. I would say this was one of the smoothest interview process/interactions I had.

Question 1
I can't say the specifics, but practicing LeetCode can help with the coding challenges. And for integration interview, you would need to make api calls, open/save file etc.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stripe (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2026
Interview
First applied online, contacting the recruiter as got rejected previously with no response, even though my CV matched a lot of what they were looking for.
Had a call with the recruiter and set up an interview for a few days later. Joined the call, and no one showed. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, as it was just after a public holiday, though I have contacted them already a few times to reschedule, and there has been no response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Salary expectations and just some relevant experience
1st round – HR screening:
The interviewer was excellent. She explained everything very clearly, managed the conversation well, and asked relevant questions.
2nd round – Pair programming:
You could use your own IDE. However, I have to say that the interviewer’s English was quite difficult to understand due to a very strong Indian accent. I struggled to understand around 50% of what he was saying.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe in Aug 2025
Interview
Interview is split into two parts:
- One initial coding assessment
- Five Interviews which include technical and behavioural assessments
The code screening is not technically challenging, but time management is important. I got disqualified for running out of time even though I was very close to a working solution.
The recruiters are quite helpful, and do provide feedback even after rejection.

Question 1
String manipulation question. Had to parse a large string that comes in a format similar to csv.
