I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Block (San Bernardino, CA) in Sept 2021
Interview
The process was very well thought out and structured. The company did a great job of making me feel valued and it was a welcoming process. They move very quickly and offer negotiation was a pleasure. Answered all of my questions thoroughly. Skye did an amazing job of painting a clear picture of the team and was very open during the interview. There weren't any questions designed to stump you and every interviewer made me feel comfortable even though I get nervous in interviews.

Interview
Very messy
Dealing with a Recruiter in the US that would only tell me interview confirmation times in her time zone.
They were unable to tell me how many interviews would be in the process. I had 3 but was told it could be approx 6.
Was never given feedback from the final interview had to check their online portal to find out not selected.
Very poor candidate experience makes me believe they don't live by the values they preach about during the process.
May have dodged a bullet.

Interview
This was the worst interview experience I have ever had. As a recruiter myself I have an understanding of the process and get how busy and hectic things can be however the way they treated me was inexcusable. For starters the recruiter was 7 minutes late to our call and unapologetic about it. She was incredibly low energy and apathetic with no excitement about Square. I could tell she was reading from a script and not even paying attention to my answers. Most of the questions I asked were met with negative and sarcastic responses. Why does this person even work there when they clearly hate it so much? To make matters worst I was rejected even though my qualifications far exceeded the requirements for the role. No feedback provided which seems to be a theme for this place. All in all I was shocked and saddened by my experience.
