      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I signed up through a college recruiting website and heard back from them regarding an interview within a couple of days. The interview lasted for an hour and was in person. I didn't like the vibes I was getting from the interviewer because it seemed like all he wanted to do was shoot my ideas down instead of constructively walk me through the problems.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I applied through my schools career website. I heard back from them within a couple of days and I had an on-campus interview at the college's interview facilities. They scheduled 2 interviews, but told me they don't want to proceed with the second one after I did the first one. I didn't like the interviewer at all since it seemed like all he was trying to do was shoot down my ideas instead of constructively participating in the process.
