Here at Stripe, we value work life balance and initiative. What personal software development projects have you worked on outside of work?

In addition to seeking candidates who have the skills and experience necessary to perform the job, hiring managers at Stripe want to make sure the individual will fit into their organization. This is why they are likely to ask you about activities outside of the workspace and personal interests you may have. Your ability to contribute to the corporate culture is equally as important as your ability to do the job. You should have some stories about your personal life prepared if the interviewer asks about this.
