Stripe Software Engineer interview experience

Those coding rounds covered everything from problem solving to recalling API design principles.

Web search was allowed during parts of the assessment process, but it came with a catch: it could actually put me at a disadvantage. So I had to decide whether to rely on memory and reasoning or pull in outside information.

I didn’t receive an offer, but the structure felt consistent and fairly broad—more than one way of evaluating coding ability, including API knowledge.
