I applied online. I interviewed at Block (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
The process was alright. I thought I did well on the coding question, however, I may have taken to long, and was not able to move on in the process. They did not, however, offer any further explanation, so that is my assumption.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A coding question involving decoding string morse code to english.
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.
