I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Box (Redwood City, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
I had a good interview experience. The interview process was very well laid out.
First the recruiter was reached out and talked about my experience and explained the process - a single phone interview and an onsite at their HQ.
Then, I had a phone interview and then I was flown to their HQ. There I had 4 rounds: 2 (design + coding) rounds, 1 online coding round and 1 coding round with the hiring manager.
The recruiter then followed up with the results within the following week. A day or two for offer negotiations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding assignments and design questions. Past projects as well.
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
