Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Stripe (San Francisco, CA) nel mese di set 2014
Colloquio
I was connected to the Head of BizOps through a mutual connection. We had a 30-minute call to discuss where I'd best potentially fit on the team and we settled on a role on the growing Accounts team.
I proceeded to have a 30-minute call with someone on the Growth team, and after that discussion I was immediately asked to complete an exercise in which I provide sample responses to prospective customers, as well as describe a technically-complex solution in more general terms (as a sort of FAQ). The contact point for the assignment was prompt with her responses and very helpful along the way.
After I submitted the assignment, I connected with another member of the Growth team to discuss my rationale behind the responses I crafted - again, 30 minutes with some time to ask my own questions along the way.
After this call, I was invited to visit the offices the next week for onsite discussions, where I met with the two Growth team members, and a third member of the team (that would be my other colleague on the Accounts side). All the discussions were friendly, engaging, and provided a great backdrop for what I would expect from the personalities at Stripe.
Several days later, I was invited for a final set of discussions with the team - I met with a total of seven employees across multiple functions - two of which were the COO and Co-Founder, respectively (that was a nice touch, actually).
I received a "no" from the team a few weeks later via email but was encouraged to keep in touch - the hiring manager also offered up time to connect over the phone for more detailed feedback. It's never fun to get rejected, but I truly found every conversation to be engaging and enjoyable. It didn't work out this time around, but I'd cherish an opportunity to join the team in the future - they've really got something great going on there.

How should we scale our account management strategy to cover our Top 100 accounts?
Recruiter screen super positive, but peer account executive interview was surprising. When you hear the product feedback loop is largely informal/personal and relationship based with product managers. I’m curious how the team plans to scale those insights as the head-count grows. It might be the Account Executive wasn't aligned on Stripe.

How you take into account users when making improvements to a product?
6 interviews in total, asking similar questions in each one. Why do you want to work here with a mix of behavioural and competency style questions with the hiring manager, other manager .

Colloquio
Stripe's Dublin-based hiring appears rigid, with a strong preference for local Irish candidates—even for specialized EMEA roles. The process inconsistently advances high-volume English-only positions but quickly rejects qualified applicants for EU market-specific ones, suggesting early screening prioritizes local Irish hires over broader merit or fit for the roles focusing on EU market.
