As a data point, I interviewed recently for a leadership role and had a somewhat similar experience to the link you provided. A change of the interviewer at the last minute, and the interviewer seemed to have a particular answer in their mind and was not open to engaging. I can understand when it comes to interviewing for a leadership position, some of the interview may be based on 'fit' rather than just the display of problem solving skills w.r.t the interview question, but to me it didn't seem like they were particularly interested in testing either. I have 10+ years of experience operating in a large $XB FinTech and my expertise was an almost exact match for the work the position they were looking to hire. I'd like to think that it was that specific group within Stripe that had that issue, but the posts on Hacker news have me thinking otherwise.
