5 business days

[warm cape]

Congrats!

How did you do on each round of the onsite?

[spiral agate]

it went okay, I struggled a bit on the integration because I misread the requirement

[odd hollow]

you misread it and they didn't correct u early?

[spiral agate]

yeah, i stated it that and went ahead with the impl but i guess he didn't catch it

it wasn't a big deal tho since it was an extension to the problem so it was easy to take out

[odd hollow]

ahh i see. thank you

congrats btw

how long did it take to hear after onsite?

[warm cape]

@spiral agate Did you have any deadlines?

[spiral agate]

onsite -> EM was 2 business days

[spiral agate]

yep, i had one on oct 15

[warm cape]

Why do all offers expire on October 15th lol

[spiral agate]

good question lol, my stripe deadline is also oct 15

@spiral agate Did your recruiter send you an email like this?

Hi Natalia,

Thank you so much for taking the time to interview with the team. Now that you've completed all of your interviews, I would love to hop on a call to discuss how it went and walk you through next steps. Please find time on my calendar here.

Best,

[potent gyro]

"next steps". there aren't really next steps for a rejection lol

[spiral agate]

Yup, looks like an offer to me. Grats!

[ember crag]

@spiral agate how many parts did you finish on the integration round?

[spiral agate]

2 parts

[ember crag]

do you know if there are more parts to the question?

[spiral agate]

no, there were only 2 parts

[ember crag]

gotchu thanks!

@spiral agate out of curiosity, did your recruiter tell you what stripe's official WFH policy is? i think i will be getting an offer for the seattle office but am wondering if stripe is ok with / supportive of folks working from home (aka another location in the US) indefinitely

[odd hollow]

also, since you're here, lcfyi––have you accepted the offer?

[spiral agate]

i haven't asked about any official policy but my recruiter and interviewers made it sound like they're super open to remote work, especially since some of my interviewers were permanent WFHers

[spiral agate]

nope not yet, i'm still deciding between my options but i'm leaning toward accepting stripe

[odd hollow]

aye nice

are u worried about bad wlb at all

[spiral agate]

a little bit, but i wouldn't mind it if i'm working on something interesting. the team matching process seems promising in that regard

[odd hollow]

i've read on blind reports that setting boundaries early on can be helpful

how many hours would you be expecting to work then

the team matching process seems promising in that regard

how so?

[spiral agate]

according to my interviewer, they've always been able to match candidates with their top team preferences

but they send you a team survey prior to your start date where you can list your preferences and choice of tech, which they'll try to match you with

[spiral agate]

ideally i'd be at around 40, but with a cap of 50-60. it's hard to quantify though

[odd hollow]

oh that's dope

[odd hollow]

i see. was just curious

@spiral agate any tips for manager round or questions I should prepare answers for beforehand?

[spiral agate]

It was pretty standard behavioural stuff for me (how you navigate problems, explain how you approached something, etc) but with a focus on stuff on my resume

[odd hollow]

@spiral agate just curious, what were ur "scores" like on each of the rounds?
like coding x/2, bug squash x/4, integration x/5

(if those were actually the nums of each interviews problems)

[spiral agate]

coding 2/2, bug squash 1/?, integration 2/2
