I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Block Renovation in Nov 2021
Interview
The initial interview and first impressions from the interviewer are truly what determines whether or not a company is the right fit! I knew right from the start that Block would be the perfect fit for me! I was first contacted by one of their internal recruiters - she was so kind and professional! Typical to all start ups and tech companies these days, I then had to complete a design challenge and was contacted to set up the next round of interviews with the leader. He was so professional, and the reason why I chose Block!

The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Block Renovation (New York, NY)
Interview
There were about 8-10 interviews. I lost count at some point. I spoke with 5 people several of them twice. Everyone was very polite. However this is way too many interviews for the position.

Question 1
The questions were very standard interview questions from my experience. Everything from simple previous experience questions to specific skills/software knowledge.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Block Renovation in Dec 2021
Interview
After applying online I received an email from a recruiting company 2 days after my application in order to schedule a screening call. After the screening call, I received a work simulation project/case study. It included questions about how I would respond to two separate client email scenarios as well as a visual design statement demonstrating my values as a designer. After I submitted my case study, I followed up twice with the recruiter before I heard back from her about 2 weeks later to schedule an interview in internal interview with who would become my supervisor. The interview went well and after the call I received an info sheet about the different contract options for freelancers. Within the following 2 days I received a contract for the option I had selected. After submitting my application I started in my role in about 2 weeks.
