El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Block (San Francisco, CA) en may 2012
Entrevista
I was contacted directly by one of the Square recruiters. After solving the initial coding test, a phone screen and phone interviews followed. After three interviews, I was flown on a short notice to the company HQ and interviewed onsite in a combination of pair programming exercises, semi-academic whiteboards, and meals with the employees. Generally I had a very positive experience. The questions were interesting and rather skill- and thinking-testing than testing how much of "Introdiction to Algorithms" you have crammed in college. The recruiter remained in touch even after (unfortunately a generic Jobvite one) "deciding to pursue other candidates", so I might revise this option in a while.
