Stripe values intentional communication. They are big on information sharing and avoid siloed thinking. To measure how well you fit in the company, the interviewer will want to learn how open and collaborative you are as a communicator. Further, talk about how you might share information in other ways, through documentation, for example.

"I like to over-communicate to ensure that nothing gets lost in the fold. For example, after sending post-meeting action items through email, I will assign tasks through the project tracker with clear notes. Then, I will continue to reach out to the task owners for real-time updates. Once, I had a team member whose deliverable was due in a day but was unresponsive. I sent a note through the project tracker and followed up through email, but still couldn't get a hold of them. I decided to call their personal phone and found out they lost their internet connection for the day and wouldn't be able to make the deadline. I made the call to re-assign to another team member immediately. After that experience, I asked the project management office to establish a process for re-assigning tasks when similar situations arise."
