J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Block (Houston, TX) en oct. 2015
Entretien
I was applying the software engineer intern position. This was the first technical interview. 45 minutes. First is about project for 10 minutes. Then is the technical question about prime number. Algorithm is given, I only need to implement it. So it is easy. The followup is about the performance. At last is about questions that I can ask. I learned that in Square the interns are integrated in real group and work with them. It was pleasant interview.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Find the prime numbers smaller than N. The Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm is given to implement. First start with first prime 2. For each identified prime umber, mark all multiples of the prime as composite. Increment the index and check to see whether the number has been marked as composite. If not marked it is a prime. If marked it is skipped. The followup question is about how to improve the performance.

J'ai passé un entretien chez Block (Melbourne)
Entretien
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
