Software Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
The recruiter reached out with an online assessment shortly after I applied. I was given one week to complete it. The assessment was a 3-tiered coding exercise on Hackerrank, where I had to design an error monitoring system. That required a complex imbricated queue + dict structure. You could run the test cases and then work on follow up questions.

Interview tips
Prepare DSA (data structures & algorithms) and be ready to combine multiple DSAs together. You have to be comfortable jumping from one structure to the other to be able to respond to different follow-ups.
Company culture
The online assessment was pretty tough. Cool down period of 6 months.

“When they wrote that one column depends on another, I pretty much immediately jumped to cycle detection and modeled it as a graph. There was a lot of reading involved, but the solutions themselves were mostly brute force and straightforward.”
“Online assessment was not difficult but super lengthy. The question was closer to the actual problems stripe works on.”
