Full Experience
I recently had a phone screen for an SDE Intern role at Stripe. The interview primarily focused on my coding skills, presenting me with two distinct problems. I found both problems to be quite straightforward and was able to articulate my approach clearly. The interview flow was smooth, covering the problem descriptions, my proposed solutions, and then coding them out.
Interview Questions (2)
Each order contains a country, a product, and a quantity; each product has a fixed unit shipping fee. I was asked to compute the total shipping cost for all orders.
The unit price was no longer fixed; instead, it changed based on quantity tiers. For example: 1–10 units cost USD 1 per unit, and 11–20 units cost USD 0.8 per unit. I needed to calculate the total cost by summing across these pricing tiers.
