Stripe carries a Seen Grade of 69/100, with an average wait of about 26 days to hear back and a 0% ghost rate. Here's what applicants report.
Stripe's hiring process takes 4-8 weeks with 4-5 technical rounds emphasizing practical coding over algorithms, but suffers from significant communication issues with roughly one-third of candidates reporting ghosting after interviews. While technical feedback is generally positive when provided, delayed decision-making and radio silence post-onsite are common complaints, particularly after candidates complete resource-intensive take-home assignments and multi-round loops. Reported average time to first response is about 26 days. Applicants report roughly 5 interview round(s).
