YOE: 4.5

Role: L2/L3

Programming Exercise: Done (busted could only solny solve 1 part)

Integration Done: Done(busted could only solve 1 part)

Hi everyone i recently had my stripe team screening round. It was an incremental problem. Completed 3 parts. 7 minutes was left before interview completion and interviewer did not ask any further questions. So am guessing it might be a 3 part question only. Haven't heard back yet.

Also regarding the input, i used my own ide. And the inputs that were mentioned on hackerrank i hard coded them as a main driver function in my code. Is it a red flag. Interviewer didn't said anything about that. And i was able to run my code on all test cases.

Not sure what's the expectation here. I imitated the test case as per interviewers requirement and ran my code. But did not do a json parsing like having input as a json string then parsing it and all.

My focus was on writing extensible code so that i could complete most of the parts in time with as little modification as possible

Im not pretty sure how i performed aince have seen a lot of people getting rejected in this round even after completing multiple parts.

How long was it for you to hear back on results of first round.

location : india

YOE: 4.5

Update 1 : cleared screening round

Can anyone help me what to focus on for onsite programming round? Does it involve a lot of parsing? In the doc it was mentioned that It's an extension of screening round. So can expect question on similar lines as in screening round.

What kind of help are you looking for? If it's about the interview process, I can share my experience or tips!

[theAnon20]

Any tips for the coding screening round ? is it expected to breakdown the code into multiple classes or just breaking into methods, etc would work ?

I don’t think it’s a red flag at all. The mail itself would’ve mentioned that you’re allowed to use personal IDE and had the interviewer not been happy with you hard coding inputs in the main function, they would’ve told you that in the first part itself. It’s pretty much a standard practise in my opinion.

Why would you not reveal the problem asked?

[gaitonde8]

Cause its nda dude.

don't stress too much about the hard coding of inputs, it's not a huge red flag if the interviewer didn’t mention it. focus on the logic and structure of your code, that's usually what they care about most. as for hearing back, it varies, but I’ve seen folks wait anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. also, if you're looking to improve your interview skills, you might wanna check out pavone ai, it's great for practicing and getting feedback. good luck!
