      Executive Assistant Interview

      30 May 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA) in May 2017

      Interview

      The recruiter was simply going through the motions. All standard interview questions- it sounded like questions were just read off of a page with no natural flow of conversation. Seemed preoccupied and didn't take the time to listen to/respond to my answers. Why schedule an interview when you're not going to listen or actually invest in the person you're speaking with?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Say you're on the Square product team. Choose one product- what would you do to improve it?

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience interviewing for the Executive Assistant role at Square. We were extremely disappointed to read about your interview process — definitely not cool, and we're really sorry. We'll discuss your feedback with the hiring team immediately. We will work to make sure that recruiters are engaged. Last year, we implemented a candidate experience survey and we are using those results and Glassdoor feedback to continuously improve our candidate experience. Again, we're very sorry about the interview experience and that you didn’t get an accurate depiction of the life at Square. At Square, we are always striving to provide the best candidate experience possible and your post will help us improve the process. Thank you for sharing and helping us continually improve the interview experience. Best, The Square Talent Team

      Executive Assistant Interview

      2 Jul 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Block in May 2023

      Interview

      Blocks interview process is incredibly long, disorganized, and redundant. You meet with 8 different people, over many rounds, over almost 2 months. Who has that kind of time? And what’s the absolute worst part is that everyone receives rejection by email. So gross, disrespectful, and outdated.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Everything from how you’d handle certain situations to what your thoughts are on competing priorities. It’s all on topic, but wholly unnecessary.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Block

      Interview

      Interview process was well conducted but lacked sufficient communication on the side of the interviewee. Generally speaking the energy was postivie and upbeat but I felt it was missing authenticity.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain a situation where you encountered a problem and how you overcame it.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      First call was fantastic, scheduled for second interview-then completely ghosted. No call no show, no return emails. Also, they pay based on geo, not the role, so dodged a bullet there!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      First question was which state are you located. Do they could adjust the salary- by over $40,000 down.
