I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Box (Redwood City, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
One of the good interview process I experienced.
Telephonic was on DP question and then whole 9.45-4.30 onsite interview.
People were professional, punctual, and friendly. Recruitment team was very nice and informative, helpful. One thing which I wanted to know was the feedback, as I dint get the offer. I felt the interview went pretty good and was confident, I wasn't sure what part of the interview I dint do well and got rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Telephonic was one DP question. kind of min cost path, but with horse (chess) directions.
- Onsite : Explain one of your project ( I felt I dint pick the right project, or the presentation wasn't upto the mark)
one Rate limit logic round
one system design - elevator
2 hours coding - inmemory DB
engineering manager round
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

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.
