Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Block (Atlanta, GA) em abr. de 2012
Entrevista
I believe I did a phone screen (with online pair programming) followed by 5 in-person interviews, 4 of which were pair programming. I'm pretty senior, and I happen to be very good at solving interview programming questions so I sort of breezed through the coding. Really these interviews boil down to just two things: 1) how well can you solve problems and write code? and 2) how well do you get along with your interviewer?
Even if the recruiter tells you otherwise, I STRONGLY recommend you show up with your own laptop and ask your interviewer if you can use it. Have your preferred programming environment completely setup and ready to go. Working in an environment you are very comfortable in will do wonders for your coding, and gives your interview a chance to see you operating on all cylinders.

I had a call with their recruiter first, talked about my past experience and what I'm look in for in my next role. Then had a technical front-end screening with two engineers where I needed to build an application. I thought I did well, I was able to implement a working app, but I did not pass. Not further feedback was given.

Pergunta 1
Implement a memory game in any JS framework or vanilla JS. You need to implement this game based on some demo app that you can play around with before hand. You need to implement the HTML/CSS and JS all from scratch. The game has the following behavior: you need to display N x N cards in a grid lay out. The number of N should be configurable by the user through a slider. When the user clicks a "start" button, N cards a highlighted for 2-3 seconds. Then the user needs to click on the cards that were highlighted. If the user clicks on the correct card, it changes the color to green, otherwise it changes to red. If all the initially highlighted cards are clicked the game is over. What to watch out for: you need to track the cards that were clicked in the grid, you need pick N random cards to be highlighted for each round of the game. You need to make sure the gird of N cards can be increased and reduced. It's not enough that the app works, you also need to write clean/readable code. You have about 40 minutes to implement this, and you need to talk through your work.
Long process. System design felt like I aced it but they didn't pass me. It was the classic design a hotel booking platform question. They put you through a lot of rounds up front.
