I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Block in May 2025
Interview
The process was relatively long (over a month), and involved a number of 1 one 1 interviews, and also a 'speed dating' style interview session with 5 half hour interviews with various people back to back. I was kept up to date throughout the process. Due to the global nature of the business, some of the interviews were outside of normal hours (e.g 11:00PM). They moved quickly once the offer was made and I accepted.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Melbourne) in Dec 2020
Interview
A really in-depth process. Phone screen from recruiter - Zoom with Lead, Zoom with 2 or so cross functional partners & a panel presentation with brief to prepare.
Can feel daunting on Zoom, you sit on a meet link for an hour and a half and people jump in and out.
It was such a quick process, my Lead was very supportive through it all and my Recruiter was incredible, answering every single question in a timely manner. Majority interaction is via email.

Give an example of working with cross functional partners. How do you take someone from good to great? How do you work with underperforming individuals? Why Square?
