I applied online. I interviewed at Block (Berlin) in Jun 2017
Interview
Started as linked list implementation and turned into calculator design. The interviewer was helpful and kind. I could not make it through as I had to do the interview from Europe at 10pm.
Thank you for interviewing with us, especially at a late time. We hope you will think of us again for future opportunities!
Positive experience

I interviewed at Block (Melbourne)
Interview
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.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To design a hotel booking system. Pick any part (backend, frontend, database, api etc) and deepdive into that, explaining the decisions along the way.
