This reminds me of the "I will not do your tech interview." post. [1]

There's a good chance if you're applying you're either a. unemployed, looking for a job, or b. you really want to work at stripe.

If you're passionate about what you do, you're going to enjoy designing anyways, so what better way to make you stand out than doing something that benefits the company you're applying for -- working on something you'd actually be working on.

Anyone can copy designs from dribbble to make themselves look like an amazing designer.

It's not like they're going to take your design, implement it and never reply to your email.

It does sound like a good way to filter for people that really want to work at Stripe, and I don't really see anything wrong with that.

Exactly. Sending a resume is cheap -- sending a design takes some time.
