Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing for upcoming interview rounds at Stripe — specifically the Bug Squash, Integration, and Programming Exercise rounds in Java.
I’ve been trying to find relevant preparation material and recent interview experiences online, but there doesn’t seem to be much information available. From what I’ve gathered, the Bug Squash round seems to involve debugging an unfamiliar codebase and fixing failing tests, while the Integration round focuses more on APIs, HTTP flows, and practical engineering scenarios.
If anyone here has gone through these rounds recently (especially using Java), I’d really appreciate any insights on:
- the kinds of bugs typically asked in Bug Squash
- what the Integration round usually focuses on
- patterns or expectations in the Programming Exercise
- useful prep resources, mock repositories, or practice strategies
Even small pointers about the interview style, difficulty level, or what helped you prepare would mean a lot.
Thanks in advance!
