I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Applied online and received an email from a recruiter requesting some dates to interview. I gave the dates and didn’t hear anything for over a week when the dates came and passed. Reached out again to see if she was still interested and she said yes, we went through another round of picking times, and I had a 30 minute phone interview with the hiring manager. He was pleasant and the conversation went well. Said I would hear from the recruiter on next steps. That was over a month ago with absolutely nothing since then. I sent two emails over the last month (so I wasn’t being pushy) and received no response. So... yeah. I’ve been ghosted. Not cool.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Block in May 2025
Interview
The process was relatively long (over a month), and involved a number of 1 one 1 interviews, and also a 'speed dating' style interview session with 5 half hour interviews with various people back to back. I was kept up to date throughout the process. Due to the global nature of the business, some of the interviews were outside of normal hours (e.g 11:00PM). They moved quickly once the offer was made and I accepted.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Melbourne) in Dec 2020
Interview
A really in-depth process. Phone screen from recruiter - Zoom with Lead, Zoom with 2 or so cross functional partners & a panel presentation with brief to prepare.
Can feel daunting on Zoom, you sit on a meet link for an hour and a half and people jump in and out.
It was such a quick process, my Lead was very supportive through it all and my Recruiter was incredible, answering every single question in a timely manner. Majority interaction is via email.
