Typical design interview. phone calls design tests interview with each member of the team Call was mainly about background and what you're looking for in your next role. Why block?

Overall I had a positive experience and the process was smooth and efficient. Square is pushing their diversity and inclusion initiative so my only recommendation is to pair POC candidates with hiring managers who are less prone to bias and/or pair those hiring managers with a POC colleague.

As much as I love Square as a company unfortunately my interview experience was bad. I had two 30 min manager chats on the phone and was told that it was for me to ask them questions in order to determine which team I want to interview with. The interviewers barely asked me any questions about my work and the questions they asked they could have figured out from my resume or portfolio. They asked me if I have questions for them so I asked them a ton of questions about their teams to “learn about them”. Afterwards I was rejected by them saying they did not get signal of me doing xyz which they could have easily found out if they asked or checked my resume/portfolio.... I honestly was very disappointed and feel like they didn’t respect my time or work I put into my resume/portfolio to show them my experience.
