Onsite is 3 technicals + 1 leadership and culture System design: design a component Bug squash: fix a bug in an open source project Integration: send a bunch of http requests Bug squash was really weird, I donโ€™t think I asked the right clarifying questions and ultimately struggled through the problem. The dev environment took a bit of time to set up too. On the integration interview, node js was painful without scaffolding code. I ended up spending a bunch of time finding npm packages and setting things up instead of coding. Python, java, and c++ all had existing scaffolding. They definitely created something where no amount of leetcode can guarantee a pass. Best way to pass is to make a friend at stripe and go through those exercises.

Did you get the offer ?

Agreed. I interviewed for a backend position, and for the first time LC wasnโ€™t necessary. They will measure your performance based on your dev skills (coding style, design patterns, testing, etc). It was an interesting approach, but I didnโ€™t feel challenged at all. It felt like a regular day-to-day task. Good luck!

Thatโ€™s probably the point though.

Hey OP, how was the interview? Also for full-stack did they ask system design or ui design for you?

Not OP but they let you choose when scheduling the interview.
