      Engineer Interview

      27 May 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Block

      Interview

      I was contacted by a Recruiter on LinkedIn. The message they sent was very unprofessional with many errors but since I was recently laid off and looking for work I agreed to connect with them. Our call was standard but they did share some concerning information. I asked about diversity at Square and they told me that they must interview one diverse candidate for each job before extending offers. Isn't this reverse discrimination? So if I am qualified for a job I won't get hired so they can fill a quota? Seems like reverse discrimination. They also could not answer any of my questions around company culture and how they are adapting in this new environment.

      Engineer Interview

      21 Apr 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Block (New York, NY) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      I went to 3 interviews and none of them were my hiring manager…….. I wasted 3 hours directly and perhaps 5 hours indirectly preparing for this. I was given a test from an engineer from a totally different team that never did the work I was applying for….. I believe I apply for a job and was interview by other teams….

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Behavior and technical. The recruiter might not know exactly what the team is looking for or the actual hiring manager is brainstorming the new role but I never met this person.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Block in Jun 2020

      Interview

      I am a pretty experienced professional of color and am used to tech companies wanting to hire me to check a diversity box. The conversation I had with Square took this to a new level. Both the recruiter and hiring manager went into their commitment to diversity on their teams before I had even asked about it and before we had even discussed the job I was interviewing for. So because I'm "diversity" that's all I get to learn about? What about the business itself? What about my qualifications? It was especially strange because when I researched the team I found zero people of color which shows that this is purely lip service...
