"I did the EM loop at Stripe about two weeks before this call. I had a hiring manager screen first, then separate rounds for strategy and execution, people and org, and culture. The whole thing felt pretty rigorous. The strategy and execution round was really about how I get things done. The culture round was more about my past experience and my personal goals."
