I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Block in Mar 2025
Interview
Overall, interviewing at Block.xyz as a Software Engineer was a fun and enriching experience. The combination of an innovative culture, challenging yet enjoyable interactions, and an emphasis on personal growth made it stand out. It left me feeling excited about the possibility of joining such a forward-thinking team!
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.
