I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Stripe in Nov 2021
Interview
1 hour technical screen via coderpad and zoom. Python problem with emphasis on test cases and completeness.
I've got through on sites with offers from Uber, Google, Facebook, and Apple for reference.
This interview was horrific. The interviewer was completely unhelpful. He offered no guidance, no preference, and just watched me flail around with the problem. There was no discussion nor was there any interest in finding out what type of candidate I am other than developing unit testing framework for a very esoteric problem.
I'm confident in my abilities as an engineer and developer, and this was ridiculous. I was so excited for the opportunity to potentially work at driving Stripe's mission forward, but this interview has shown me a nasty underbelly of what lies within.

Question 1
Process the data and train a predictive model for the target. What is data normalization used for?
Online Assessment — The first round of interviews is scheduled to include both coding and machine learning problems. Overall, the process appears to follow a fairly standard interview procedure, beginning with technical assessment before moving into later-stage evaluations.

Interview
2 technical screens (coding, ml coding), onsite was 4 rounds (coding, debugging, system design, hiring manager). Coding questions were OOP and class oriented. Problems were practical, the ml coding round had a dataset provided and you had to build and evaluate a model in 1h.
