This is almost point-for-point identical (minus the offer talk) to the other Stripe interviewing stories I've heard lately. (Context: Management positions. Not sure about IC roles).

From the outside, I wonder if Stripe has reached the point of notoriety where they can get away with poor hiring and even workplace practices because nobody wants to admit getting rejected by Stripe. Every negative anecdote I've seen has been shared under anonymity or strict confidentiality. I assume Stripe knows they're a hot commodity and therefore can get away with negative interview practices.
