Absolutely horrendous candidate experience! From the condescending RC team to the recruiters I dealt with. To start, I was given a writing "challenge" assignment which felt more like soliciting free labor from candidates than a genuine assessment, with a 45-minute time limit and only 24 hours to complete it during a long holiday weekend. I normally wouldn't bother proceeding with a role that requires this but went ahead anyway. Then came the recruiter screenings which were booked TWICE on the wrong day/time zone, which I had to solicit these changes. A candidate shouldn't have to use your brain for you to book interviews at a logical/reasonable hour for all involved. After having the schedule changes, I had two phone 30/60-minute long screens with recruiters who were very rude and sounded disinterested in screening me. I could literally hear TV/pets in the background. I had to send several follow-up emails to get cryptic responses and nobody seemed to know what the other was doing. The disorganization of this team is beyond disgraceful and I'm right to say that because of the weeks of radio silence (strike 2). Finally, I get scheduled for a final panel interview with the wrong time zone and request it to be rescheduled AGAIN! This interview only happened after I signed an NDA and was 2.5 hours long with a sourcer, RC, and two managers, The managers seemed either too full of themselves or preoccupied and dissociated (dressed in yoga attire!). The associate-level employees were fine, but again the arrogance is unfounded. The kicker? After all that, I had to goose-chase my main point-of-contact and two other schedulers for updates and in return, I received a canned template rejection email response. No personalized feedback after soliciting/wasting 6+ hours of my time. Never again! The role has been reposted and some other poor schmucks will be roped into this sadistic process. I expected way better from Square- if you work in HR/People Ops - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE avoid this dumpster fire of a team/company.
