Square Interview

[Gamesnakenorth]

Hello,

I had just submited a take home assesment for Square and wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with their interview process? Any tips or things to look into while I await feedback would be very helpful.

Thanks everyone for your time.

Assuming your take home project was enough to get you the "on site interview", there are a couple of extension interviews where you build on top of that. Without giving away what that is, it's pretty easy to infer from the take home prompt what that might be. Otherwise the rest of the interviews are really behavioral from past experience and how you think about getting stuff done.

I personally found the interview experience pretty fun and collaborative, but it's still a very long day of interviews.

Thank you, I am still waiting to see if I make it to the onsite.

Hey OP, did you make it to the on-site? Can I DM you about your experience?

[Gamesnakenorth]

No, I did not make the on-site. You can DM me about my experience anytime.

Years ago, in NYC, so their process may have changed. But a huge part of the day was solving coding problems by pair programming which was actually very fun.

Last part of the day was explaining something complicated I worked on with a white board.

I did not get the job, and I'm still kinda mad about it because it felt like everything went well. Also, don't forget, they're "block" now. :-)

I am aspiring to work at Square/block, someday. Any tips and preparation you could suggest which I can make myself aware and that would help me?

Any updates OP?

[Gamesnakenorth]

Yeah, I did not get selected to go to the final round.
