In this round, you will be given a codebase, and you’ll have to run various tests to identify the bug(s) in the program and provide the most accurate fix. You will be provided with resources such as a failing test to help identify the bugs. You will have to complete the entire process in a given amount of time.
Preparing for Tech Interviews with Paul Carleton of Stripe
Motivation:
At Stripe, our interview process has some interviews where you write code, typically on your laptop.
Weve noticed that more often than not, weve had to spend a significant portion of the interview helping candidates setup a maven-based Java environment on their personal laptops.
Weve created a (rather ad-hoc) maven project to help candidates determine if their laptops were setup to write Java, so interviews can be about evaluating the candidate, and not the way their environment is setup.
If you can run these commands, your development environment is probably ready for Stripes Java interview questions:

In this round, you will be given a codebase, and you’ll have to run various tests to identify the bug(s) in the program and provide the most accurate fix. You will be provided with resources such as a failing test to help identify the bugs. You will have to complete the entire process in a given amount of time.
The first round is the Recruiter Phone Screen, which will be an informal discussion. This will be followed by the Technical Phone Screen, which will test your System Design, Databases, Heaps, and Data Structures coding skills. The last and final round is the Onsite, which will consist of 5 interviews – Coding interview, Behavioral round, Bug hunt, System Design, and Integration Task.
This will be a video call with someone from the team, most likely an engineer. It will typically be a 1-hour interview. The first 5-10 minutes will be utilized in introductions, and then you will be required to share your screen and do live coding in the language of your choice.
Software is the most important component for any company today. At Stripe, software engineers play a crucial role in building, designing, developing, and maintaining the company’s software. They are responsible for creating solutions and turning ideas into concrete products. They must have an understanding of the company’s architecture, design patterns, programming languages, and the relationship of the customers with the company.

Outcome: Rejected on-site after one week, 1-year cooldown. No feedback. Preamble: Having your own GitHub helps you to stand out. They will check that. Resume stage: If there is a new job listing, apply to it ASAP. Tailor your resume to the job listing. It helps to have a list you can pick from for quick customization. I dont think the cover letter helped given the effort I put into them and it was never brought up subsequently. Resume tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpaz7nrNmXA Prep: – Check out https://github.com/stripe and start hacking their repos in the language of your choice, craft your dev setup from that. – Be sure to have a good visual debugging setup where you can set breakpoints and step through your code, I recommend VSCode and familiarizing with any extensions you pick. – Think about how to test your code. – Practice with Zoom, sharing your screen with your headset and video on, even if youre alone. Think about how the interviewer will see you from Zoom (vid cam, sharing, etc.). – Implement all the basic data structures in the language of your choice with your dev setup and go from there. Phone screen: Be proactive and lead, share your desktop and your dev setup even though they may suggest using CoderPad or some other lame tool. It was an easy-medium style programming question that builds on top of each other. Virtual on-site (in no particular order): 1. Programming – Same as phone screen 2. Behavioral – I should have prepared more, I recommend this book and go through the most common questions which helped me in future interviews https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/the-interview-question/9780273763710/ 3. Frontend Design – Design some UI component, no coding, just virtual whiteboarding. This was more challenging than a typical backend system design question. I failed this section. I recommend this Blind post https://www.teamblind.com/post/Linkedin-front-end-interview-general-tips-Yh2mroVk 4. Integration – Have a good grasp of making network calls in the language of your choice. Two sections which builds on top of each other. They ask you to pull from a private repo so you will need your own GitHub account. 5. Debugging – Struggled with setup due to my environment, although I fixed the bug, I felt I was being too verbal and should have debugged like normal. I also should have had more mastery of the debugging tool that I was using, but I admit it is hard to practice for this type of interview. You pull from their private GitHub repo. Tips: – Verify your language of choice with the recruiter – Clarify if its frontend or backend-style interview, especially for full-stack roles – Questions to ask, pick from this list http://jvns.ca/blog/2013/12/30/questions-im-asking-in-interviews/ – Go thru Stripe engineering blog, only 2 pages and you may interview with one of the authors https://stripe.com/blog/engineering YOE 8 TC 200#stripeinterview
