(I work at Stripe and, while I don’t do engineering interviews, have strong views on the topic, which may or may not be equivalent to our views. I believe the following is substantially accurate regarding factual representations.)
We don’t do whiteboard interviews for coding. If we have a coding interview, candidates can do it on their choice of their machine or a loaner machine from us with one of a few environments installed.
Most interview loops have approximately two 45 minute coding interviews. The other interviews might focus on (depending on job/seniority/etc) design, architecture, product sense, industry knowledge, communication style, etc. (Each interview tests one cluster of skills against a rubric, as explained in the linked article.)
- ppeetteerr 8y agoThanks for clarifying mate. It's nice to hear your company is changing the status quo.
- ummonk 8y agoThis actually seems to be the norm at most startups. Coding exercises on laptop, and design and behavioral interviews. I’ve mostly seen algorithm / data structure questions at megacorps, which are probably too big with too much inertia to quickly reform their processes.
