I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stripe (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
Referral from a current employee. Very friendly phone screen with the recruiter. Several weeks delay afterwards, but then a remote technical interview. Flown to SF for on-site interviews. Medium difficulty technical questions.
Great interview style. Allowed to refer to documentation, use my preferred code editor, etc…
Very friendly people showing an excellent culture.
I would love to work at Stripe, but I got a better offer from another company.

I applied and got an interview offer in about 2 weeks. I interviewed with someone from the US even though i applied for Bucharest. A bit of introduction and HR style questions in the beggining, followed by 2 problems.
The first step is a HackerRank challenge, typically 60 minutes long, consisting of one question broken into 3 parts/sub-tasks. The question is implementation-heavy rather than a typical dynamic programming or graph puzzle.
