I applied online. I interviewed at Block in Oct 2015
Interview
2 technical phone screens, followed by an onsite with 2 pair-programming style interviews. The interviewers were quite nice, but I also didn't have too much trouble with the questions. I produced working code for all but one out of the 4, but wasn't expected to produce working code for the last one. My recruiter was very responsive and the process went very smoothly.

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.
