I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
They were friendly, professional, and thorough. Phone screen, then a full day onsite, with 2-3 pair-programming problems and 2-3 whiteboard questions.
The phone screen was mostly a CoderPad problem, which was something about finding hints and solutions for a small crossword puzzle. More questions below.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you design a booking system for a hotel chain?
Inital take home, followed by extension interview, followed by a coding challenge, followed by system design interview.
The whole process took 3 months!
The interviewers are usually really nice and want you to do your best.
The interviewer was nice, and he is friendly and willing to give hint, the question has 2 follow-ups, it was hard to complete in time. The question was not a typical LeetCode
Phone screen and then a full day of interviews. 3 pair programming challenges, a system design review and a prior experience interview. There was also an onsite lunch with a person from the company.
