I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Block in Mar 2022
Interview
They start with a CodeSignal that's a part of your application. Then they schedule you for two more technical interviews with an engineer after a recruiter reaches out to you if your profile was a match. Then there's a final interview where you meet the team and get the decision. Three technical interviews and a behavioral for an intern position is a bit much, as even Meta only had two + a phone screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were on LeetCode Interview Questions, one included using HashMaps and sets for matching pairs of socks.
Inital take home, followed by extension interview, followed by a coding challenge, followed by system design interview.
The whole process took 3 months!
The interviewers are usually really nice and want you to do your best.
The interviewer was nice, and he is friendly and willing to give hint, the question has 2 follow-ups, it was hard to complete in time. The question was not a typical LeetCode
Phone screen and then a full day of interviews. 3 pair programming challenges, a system design review and a prior experience interview. There was also an onsite lunch with a person from the company.
