      Software Engineer Interview

      19 Feb 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      After my initial contact with the recruiter, I didn't hear from him again from him until 27 days later. Then I was scheduled for a technical interview over Skype. The technical interview was a disaster. My interviewer was pretty rude, talked almost the entire duration of the interview, didn't really give me a chance to solve the problem, and then ended the interview about 25 minutes early. The entire process from beginning to end was cumbersome and really disappointing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In the X/Y plane, create a function that stacks blocks on top of each other like they do in Tetris.

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We were really disappointed to read about your interview process — definitely not cool, and we're really sorry. We'll discuss your feedback with the Talent Team immediately to ensure that future candidates are responded to in a timely manner. We have recently introduced interview training to a new audience and we hope it addresses the issues you experienced. We are also working to expand our pool of interviewers and we are extremely sorry you had to experience that. Again, we're very sorry about your interview experience. The candidate experience is very important at Square and we value your feedback. Best, The Square Talent Team
