That sounds very fair. I’d prefer that over leetcode type of questions anytime



Yeah! I didn't end up taking a job at Stripe, but I came away very impressed with their process. Only one interview was leetcode-ish and it was a phone screen and purposefully not a high bar. Then the real interviews were: that debugging one which I loved, an "integration" one which involved live coding while plugging a few different unfamiliar libraries and APIs together (also something I really do in my job), a standard system design interview (still don't really love these...), and an in depth conversation with a hiring manager. Still a tough day, but pretty decent process I think!
