I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Stripe
Interview
Initial recruiter screen followed by hiring manager interview. After that second round, you are asked to create a presentation based on a hypothetical and review with hiring manager + additional department member.
It was unclear to me why a 2nd person attended the presentation round, as they were on their laptop the entire time, asked no questions, and did not bother to look at the camera when the interview was concluded.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is one thing you would change in regards to the marketing strategy for a recent Stripe launch?
I met with a recruiter and the hiring manager. I was completely ghosted. It's really disappointing to prepare for an interview, only to be ghosted by the recruiter. I sent a follow-up email regarding the role, and received no answer. Not even a automated rejection letter.

Question 1
Asked behavioral and situational questions - Tell me about a time you needed to launch a project and how did it go
I applied online. I interviewed at Stripe in Oct 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out. They were genuinely pleasant and cheerful.
Pro Tip: get clarity on the salary range for your location before committing to a screening. They will categorically lowball you by $25K to $40K. They want your experience, but they do not want to pay you for it.
I recused myself after my initial conversation with the recruiter.
