I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Block in Feb 2016
Interview
Had two phone screens, the first went poorly, the second went well enough to get an on-site.
On-site was nice, two interviews and lunch before a wrap-up with HR.
I thought the on-site went well as I had running solutions for both interviews ( which they expect ) but I didn't get an offer.
The whole process was quite streamlined overall although I'm disappointed i didn't get an offer or feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They don't ask standard leetcode questions for the on-site, it's better to prepare for OOP.

Application
I interviewed at Block (Melbourne)
Interview
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.
