Stripe Software Engineer interview experience

That round was a live coding session where they gave DSA questions that were meant to correlate to the kinds of problems that show up in production, and it ran for about an hour.

It didn’t feel like I was doing a generic quiz. Instead, it was framed as a closer match to their environment, and that made the stakes feel higher even though the format was still very “coding interview.” I walked out with the sense that the questions were meant to test both problem-solving and how I handled DSA under live conditions. Ultimately, the process didn’t continue past that stage for me.
