It was always cited as a legal risk. Stripe handled this by having an extra interview baked in by default. People who were viewed as no risk hires didn’t have to do it, but the default was an extra interview to cover risks. Because it wasn’t an aberration, it wasn’t giving a candidate preferential treatment. I honestly think it’s one of the smartest interview loops I’ve seen. I think they are one of the few large companies gambling a bit on the false positive side of things to shave off false negative points. And honestly, I was impressed with the people I interacted with at stripe more than AWS. They’re doing something right.
