Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Block en ene 2023
Entrevista
This was for a position at TBD.
1. call with recruiter
2. call with hiring manager
3. take-home project
4. final round with 3 engineers
I would recommend joining their Discord community server since all the employees are there, and you can get a feel for how they interact.
They really want to make sure you understand what decentralization means and are passionate about applying these concepts to real-world scenarios. I would read through their documentation to get an understanding of the concepts they'll be asking about.
Took 2+ weeks to get a rejection from recruiter after the final round but otherwise, they moved quickly.
Overall, I think it was the right call because you really have to be passionate about this intersection of decentralization and developer infrastructure. Everyone was really into it and I don't think I was able to match up in terms of personal interest.

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
