I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Block in Jul 2019
Interview
Recruiter screen followed by phone interview and onsite. Overall the process was fast and everyone seemed nice. Phone screen was leetcode medium and got feedback really quickly.
Onsite:
- 3 1hr coding rounds
- System design
- Project discussion round
- 2 hiring manager/team matching rounds
They also tell you what system design question they will ask to help you prepare better. Overall really positive experience.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
