And a rebuttal from Jay Shah (the accused) claiming that this isn't true: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FR8FjJ9VsAAMY_k?format=jpg&name=...

> Zach, sorry you feel this way, but this isn’t true and I think you know that. You reached out to me repeatedly—I never reached out to you for information. Stripe did an RFP because we work with partners for this product, and we had hoped to include Plaid.

Based on my experience interviewing with Stripe a few years ago, I wouldn't doubt that Stripe is capable of the kind of behavior they are accused of.

A couple years ago Stripe reached out to me saying they like my background and that they want to discuss potential roles. I was working on a payments product at a FAANG company at that moment and was starting to think it’s time to do something else. So I said I am interested. Stripe scheduled an interview with Q… J… (Eng Director at Stripe). After a few generic questions about my past experiences, Stripe’s Q… J… asked a series of very specific questions about vendors/partners, API integration details, txn costs, etc. at my current company. I politely declined to answer these questions citing my employment agreement and NDA. I never heard back from Stripe again.

Edit: fix autocorrect

I signed an NDA before my interview so I can't go into details but my experience was a lot like yours.
