Stripe

Interview Duration: 1 hour Programming Language: C++ Interview Structure: Started with a brief introduction (1–2 minutes). The main coding round consisted of four progressively challenging questions based on a single problem. The first question involved calculating transportation costs between different types of factories, assuming no transportation cost. The second question introduced transportation costs into the problem. The third question extended the problem from 3 types of factories to 10 types, requiring a recursive approach. I successfully solved the first three questions within the one-hour duration but could not attempt the fourth, as time ran out. The interview concluded with around 5 minutes of informal discussion about Stripe's culture and questions from my side. Overall: A progressive problem-solving round where each question built upon the previous one, increasing in complexity. I was able to solve 3 out of the 4 questions.
