Here's an expanded guide on the Stripe internship interview process:
Stripe Internship Interview Process
The Stripe internship hiring process consists of three main stages designed to evaluate both your technical skills and your ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
Round 1 – Technical Interview
The first technical round typically focuses on core computer science fundamentals, including data structures and algorithms. You'll be given coding problems to solve in real time, so it's important to think out loud, explain your reasoning clearly, and walk the interviewer through your approach before jumping straight into code.
Round 2 – Technical Interview
The second technical round often goes a step deeper, potentially involving system design questions or more complex problem-solving scenarios. This round tests not just whether you can write working code, but whether you can think about trade-offs, scalability, and clean implementation.
Round 3 – Behavioral Interview
The final stage is a behavioral interview, where the focus shifts from what you can build to how you work. Expect questions about past experiences, how you handle challenges, collaborate with teammates, and approach ambiguous problems. Stripe values clear thinking and strong communication, so be ready to give structured, specific answers.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months

Interview
Resume screening and then two 2 rounds of technical interviews, on an elimination basis. Interview done on google docs with no IDE, dsa leetcode style question. May be asked follow up questions on how to optimise your solution or on how you would code up a solution to a similar problem.

Question 1
DSA tree question, medium-hard leetcode difficulty.
Home exam, 2 questions in 90 mins
Then they did 2 interviews-45 mins each
It was on google meet
The interviews are in English, the first question was matrix dfs and the second one was hashmap with random function
