The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Box (Palo Alto, CA) in June 2011
Interview
I interviewed with box.net last year and rejected before they gave me offer as I got work with labs in Yahoo! (same company). This year I interviewed them again as last year it was so pleasant interviewing them. They did line up really bad interviewers who I think did not understand my resume and asked me absolutely irrelevant questions. I think if you only want to work with front end then you should go to box.net, there is no backend engineering team in box.net. It was really insulting the way interviews were taken.
Straightforward. They're looking for your approach towards a problem and how efficient your solution is, they don't care about any coding syntax hiccups.
There were multiple questions (not all LC)
- Unix Commands
- Identify Synchronization Issue in the given code
- Find K Most Frequent words across all files in a given dir path
- Flip Kth Bit
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Box in Feb 2026
Interview
Short screening with HR. Followed by dropdown implementation fix for frontend. Then to implement todo list via React. Last full-stack to implement Cart logic with pseudocode. Interviews around one hour long. And interviewers are pretty chill and ready to help you in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a cart logic specification document intended for a backend development team to use as an implementation guide.
At first I applied via job board, then recruiter screening, one week leater System design interview and Coding interview. I get declined at this step with quiet big feedback. All take around 3 weeks. And meeting in summarize was 4 hours.
