I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Stripe
Interview
The technical interview was a pretty absurd format. They give you a dataset and you have 50 minutes to understand it, analyze it, develop a model for it, and assess the model for it. You do not have much time do things properly so it did not feel like an appropriate interview.
If you want to pass this interview, you will need to memorize the pandas and sci-kit learn APIs. While it is technically "open note", you cannot use a second monitor and you will probably be judged for having your own notes.
Interviewer also does not provide much guidance of what is expected of you and will just let you fumble around the problem while remaining silent.
Online Assessment — The first round of interviews is scheduled to include both coding and machine learning problems. Overall, the process appears to follow a fairly standard interview procedure, beginning with technical assessment before moving into later-stage evaluations.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Stripe in Apr 2025
Interview
2 technical screens (coding, ml coding), onsite was 4 rounds (coding, debugging, system design, hiring manager). Coding questions were OOP and class oriented. Problems were practical, the ml coding round had a dataset provided and you had to build and evaluate a model in 1h.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
system design had an emphasis on real time deployment
1 hour hackerrank involving payment processing. Questions were easy, but the output types are not given, so you spend most of the time guessing what hackerrank wants. The question is split into multiple parts and you're not able to test individually. Complete waste of time.
