The entire interview process took about 3 weeks. First there was a writing sample they ask for which is very easy. The next step was a phone mock call. I was pretty nervous because I wasn’t sure how the role playing would go but the rep was super friendly and fed me the info before hand & I just navigated through the call showing my customer service skills. It wasn’t really about getting the info right but more so how can u resolve an issue effectively. The last step was in on site interview that lasted about an hour. I met w/ 2 hiring “team leads” for 30min each. The first hiring manager was pretty laid back & did ask basic interview questions but it was more conversational. The 2nd was a little more direct (reading through a list of questions) and his questions were longer/more complex. Overall my experience was great everyone was superb friendly & the office is so awesome!

Question 1
Name a time where you used a cross functional process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Block in Apr 2014
Interview
I was emailed by an account coordinator and had my first interview at the end of March. I was asked to submit a writing sample (these were sample customer emails meant to evaluate my ability to use their knowledge base). Had a telephone interview with a team member in SF, and then an in-person interview in their offices in New York. Was called at the end of April by Beth, who let me know that I was the second runner up for the role, and asking if she could call me when they started hiring again. Called me back a month later.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Saint Louis, MO) in Aug 2018
Interview
I quickly received a response to my application and followed up with a simple writing sample. I had a phone interview a couple of days later that included a mock phone call, followed by an in person interview about a week later. The in person interview was at the same time as several other interviews. I interviewed with two managers that asked standard interview questions. I thought it went well with the first manager but couldn't get a read from the second. I received a rejection email about a week after the interview but was not given any feedback.
Thanks for taking the time to apply and interview! Hopefully, you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to glassdoor@squareup.com.
