Recruiter interview. I asked about Ripple's legal issues and about competitors for their different products, especially for the cross border payments one. I also asked about revenue/profitability and whether an IPO was possible, The recruiter didn't like these questions so I wasn't invited to further interviews. Draw your own conclusions.

Recruiter reached out to me for Staff Engineer position and I was open to senior role too in case the bar is too high for Staff position. Firstly, I had Hiring manager round which was ok. After that I had technical assessment round where I was asked to implement stock-update problem. I discussed my solution which may not be optimal but should be working. There was just wordy problem description and you have to come up with all function signature and assumptions. I started conversation and parallelly started coding. Before I could run it, time was over. Over call it appeared that interviewer is accepting that as solution but finally got rejection. I don’t know if they are looking for full production ready code but I would recommend future candidates to code faster to make it complete and one suggestion to interview panel to keep the expectation realistic.
