Has anyone interviewed at Stripe recently? I had a really weird experience and wondering if it's normal. The recruiter told me the interview was going to be with a team member and they would talk more about the position, allow me to ask questions, and get to know more about my experience. Instead, the interviewer joined and immediately started a case interview. No introduction or anything just said, "this is the structure of the case, let's begin". I had no idea I needed to prep for a case lol.

Yeah can confirm this happened to me over the summer. And they surprised me with a 2 on 1 interview. Both were pretentious.

So weird. Felt like a bait and switch lol

Why would you work for a company like that these tech companies are so pretentious

I'm starting to feel that way too. Had a Google recruiter join 15 minutes late, gave me a salary range that's $50k below what I make now, and seemed offended when I told her I won't be moving forward.

Case interview? I guess I’m a noob but could you elaborate? I have an interview with Stripe coming up as well but I’ve never interviewed with a big tech company before.

They provide a scenario/situation (the case), give you a few mins to ask questions, brainstorm, then walk them through your solution. They'll ask questions and push back on your solution so you need to be able to justify why you decided to solve the problem the way you did. There were three different cases during my interview.
