I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview process was a little too long over a period of one and a half to two months. There were 2 virtual phone screens and one on-site meet up. However, the long waiting time mostly due to managers out of town or not available. Once they make a decision, it was really quick.
