I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Box in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied online, got a reply a while later about scheduling a 2 hour Skype interview. They said they were busy, so took a few more weeks before I actually interviewed. Interviewed with two separate engineers, they seemed fairly nice, but both of them pretty much got right away into having me solve the technical question. The first one was the elevator design problem, the second one about making a deep copy of a linked list with next pointers, and random pointers to a node in the list.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There is so much that goes into the elevator design problem, I didn't think fast enough to write out a good solution and code it.
First interview was algorithms in my case using priority queue (in this part I was allowed to use internet).
Next part was divided into 4 interviews: behavioral, with hiring manager, design (design elevator system) and live coding algorithm.
It's nice that they provide feedback from the interview.
In the end I didn't get an offer because according to them I lacked experience, even though according to feedback all my interviews went well. I feel they wasted my time because I didnt apply for this position, they contacted me on linked in.
I applied online. I interviewed at Box (Redwood City, CA)
Interview
5 rounds of algorithms and data structures, retrospective and behavioral questions to assess culture fit. I did well on the retrospective but did not do good in other rounds. It is a fairly detailed process.
very long and tedious, too many stages and communication was good but not always clear, i wish it was more streamlined and clear. Not the best or the worse i must say,.
