Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Block nel mese di nov 2014
Colloquio
I met them at a career fair and, having been very interested in their product, turned in a resume. I was contacted with a link for an online screen which I finished and sent the recruiter an email telling her I'd done it. No reply. A week later when I remembered, I followed up asking if she'd had the time to see it, so then she replied saying I'd gotten a skype interview. I had two skype interviews which were both great; the interviewers were friendly and the questions were interesting. Then I moved on to the final round.
I thought the final round went great; one interviewer even told me that not many candidates he has interviewed have gotten that far so quickly. Anyway, before leaving we were told that we should hear back within a week. The next week comes and goes, I hear nothing. The week after that, I follow up with the recruiter and she tells me she would know the NEXT week (which would be more than 2 weeks after the interview). I say okay. The week she said she'd let me know by comes and goes and I hear nothing. By the end I have another offer, so before accepting that I send another follow up to the Square recruiter, to which she never responds. Finally, another week later (at this point a month after my final interview), I finally get a generic Jobvite email saying I didn't get the offer.
I obviously understand if they didn't think I had what they were looking for, but I thought it was a negative experience because of the unresponsiveness of the recruiter and the fact that they took 4x how long they said it would to get back to me without any communication as to why.

Colloquio
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.
