Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Stripe nel mese di mar 2022
Colloquio
1. Initial chat with manager to learn more about the team and the role.
2. Tech screen was building a small UI component to match a working example.
Virtual onsite consisted of:
3. Algorithmic programming exercise of a financial themed problem.
4. Formal and in-depth manager chat learning more details of the team and asking some behavioral/past experience type questions to determine culture fit.
5. "Integration" which consisted of programming API calls against real Stripe production servers with error handling and some data manipulation required.
6. Frontend system design for a real Stripe page decomposing the components needed with their APIs, state, and making sure to cover a11y and allow for future changes.
7. Bug squash with a fork of a real open source repo containing a bug, an issue describing the problem and including failing test cases. I reproduced the failing test case, walked through the code to find the root cause, explained the cleanest and highest performance solution, implemented it, and then ran the entire test suite to make sure everything worked.
The entire process from initial screening to offer was exactly 4 weeks.

Build a small UI component to match a working example
The interviewer was not paying attention at all, he only cared about the final solution. There were even some necessary snippets of code that I could not copy pasted as it was disabled

Colloquio
Had a screening technical interview, after that was done, I had 3 more technicals and one behavioral. It was really difficult scheduling all those interviews as there were no slots + they cancelled half of my interviews moments before I join.
People in the interview were extremely silent and poker faces making it look like an interrogation instead of an interview.
When I got the reject email and they called me for feedback they told me the most generic answer I could get, especially for a phone call feedback. Telling one person that is writing HTML for 5+ years that he does not know very well HTML is at least stupid. Just tell the exact reason. Spent my time.
