Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
One phone screen about general interests, then a phone interview with algorithms questions. Then a second phone interview which was all knowledge-based questions (which I was surprised by and didn't do very well). Everyone I talked to was very nice and seemed really passionate about the company.

Got the interview through a recruiter. Asked me many questions about front end and back end design. Questions were basic, about MVC, Javascript, get vs post, binary tree, hash table, etc. What's the average and worst case runtime for hash table insertion/deletion? When would you use a binary search tree over a hash table? What kind of hash function would you use?

Received and Declined Offer
|
Interviewed Aug 2010 in Palo Alto, CA (took 5 days)
Contacted by a recruiter. After expressing interest, I had a short technical phone screen, followed by an onsite interview with several different engineers plus the recruiter. After they'd said they wanted to ask me an offer, I had a followup interview with one of the tech leads, where I could ask questions about the company and the kind of projects they're working on.
Everyone seemed friendly, and the environment seemed fun if a bit hectic and chaotic. They're clearly growing fast.
Reason for Declining
I had another offer for a position that I felt was a better match for my background and experience. It was a tough choice though, and I felt I could also have been happy at Box.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
