Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Block
Entrevista
Phone screen, technical screen, etc.
Technical screen interviewer had a heavy accent and the call was done over google hangouts, not Zoom, so audio quality was terrible. Could barely understand the interviewer when they spoke. They interviewer never pasted the question into the coderpad so I had no reference for the requirements of the problem.

Pregunta 1
Write a function to validate a URL and handle parsing paths with /../. The interviewer was terrible and never said what constituted a valid URL for the scope of the problem, so ended up wasting a bunch of time on that.
Inital take home, followed by extension interview, followed by a coding challenge, followed by system design interview.
The whole process took 3 months!
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
