      Compliance Analyst Interview

      Feb 20, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Saint Louis, MO
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      I normally do not write reviews, however, all applicants need to be aware of what I consider fundamental flaws in their process and culture. Please look at the amount of negative experiences and judge for yourself whether you want to work for this company. The hiring employees at Square need to remember that they too are only a phone call or meeting away from themselves being job seekers. The process began with an on-line application, followed by a writing sample, followed by a two hour interview. At no time until the end of the interview process was salary discussed. Pros: A phone call to let me know that I was not selected Cons: No salary guidelines up-front--Once discussed it was low pay supplemented by stock that vests over a 4 year schedule.....except, you are taxed up-front on first 25% even though you can't sell it. If you are over 30, I would not suggest that you apply, as the average age is much lower and you will probably not be a good fit for the "culture". If you are looking for any sort of professional dress, please do not apply. One of my "interviewers" wore sweats to the interview. I realize that this is a tech company, but please have some pride in how you are presenting yourself to the general public and those who are looking at working for your company. Free food----Nice, but unless you are going to happy hours to eat your meals, it is a "perk", not a "benefit" to be stressed, along side more traditional things like health. Lack of Simple Courtesy and Professionalism---While two of the group interviews were in person, three were via teleconference. I would have just wanted a head's up that this was going to be the process, before a manager "popped on" to the television and started barking questions in a rude manner, saying that she was already late. I understand from reading the reviews that this was a possibility, however, a simple comment that this was going to happen would have been appreciated.

      If you were stranded on a desert island for 5 years and only had a television and radio, what would you watch and what would you listen to?

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Melbourne) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      My interview experience with Square was amazing! Although a lengthy process, I believe that it is efficient to find the right candidates and getting to know them properly. Every applicant is assigned a "recruiter" based in San Francisco, who is you main point of contact through out the whole interview experience. My process was as follows: 1. Recruiter Interview Was a <30 minute call with your allocated recruiter. General questions were asked including what you know about the role and your general working experience 2. 1.5 hour interview with 3 Square staff members I thought this was going to be a daunting interview since I was told that it will be a 1.5-2 hour interview. However, the interview was super casual and allowed the staff to get to know me properly. Each staff member spoke to me separately (30 minutes each) and asked me general questions with a practical exercise (nothing too difficult). Sometimes there will be a third interview with the "top" hiring manager in San Francisco, however I did not have to complete this step. I was offered a role 2 weeks after my 3 stage interview. Overall, the process took 1 month from applying to offer being made.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - What do you know about Square? - How do you cope with changing processes? - How do you cope with tedious and routine work?
