There are 2 round, the first one is an 1 hr phone interview. Need to implement a simple component. The second one is about 3 or 4 hours long, with 3-4 different interviewer. Asked to implement some component and some behavior questions.
- The most difficult thing you have encountered.

I interviewed at Box
The process starts with a meeting with the recruiter, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager. Then there's a role-play (30 min mock discovery call) and a final panel interview (1 hour Territory Planning and Analysis + Deal Review). I was very impressed with the entire recruitment process. From the initial application to the panel interviews, every step of the way was very interesting yet challenging. The recruiter, hiring manager and Account Executives at Box were not only responsive and communicative throughout the process, but they also took the time to get to know me as a candidate and understand my career goals. They provided valuable insights into the role and the company culture, and made sure that I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. Shoutout to Sophie Raymond from the EMEA team for the guidance and support throughout ! Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better recruitment experience. Box truly values their candidates, and I highly recommend it :)
- - What is the thought process behind your Territory Planning, and how do you identify opportunities from existing and net new accounts ? - How do you prioritize your revenue generating activity and stay organized ? - What is your prospecting strategy ? How do you personalize your outreach ? - How do you manage working with multiple stakeholders internally ? - Questions around the Sales Framework and managing the Sales Cycle - Questions around motivation and career goals

Initial screening call, manager interview, panel interview with four members of the team. Overall great experience. The entire team really made me feel comfortable throughout the process and offered great insight into the role.
- How do you handle working with people with different/difficult personalities?

I had a phone interview with a recruiter who had great things to say about the company and talked in depth about their ERGs and other great perks. He gave me a layout of the process and moved me to the next round. The next round was with a higher up and pretty laid back. He asked similar questions to the information that the recruiter initially asked me. The following round was 30 mnt interviews with 4 people. Two things stood out. The first, 3/4 people asked me the same question, I laughed the 3rd time they asked and the interviewer let me know I wasn’t supposed to be asked that more than once. The second thing that stood out, for a company that talked about values and ERGS, there was no diversity in their panel. Overall, I was pretty disappointed in process, the experience, and how time consuming it all was just to ask me the same questions over and over again.
- Tell me about a time you received difficult feedback?
- Why do you want to work here?

Great and involved interview process. You will have rescources given to you to help and someone you can reach out to anytime throughout the process. Every person I interviewed with was excited about the company and very well prepared with my own information.
- Why are you interested in getting into sales?

Terrible. If you want to spend 30+ hrs prepping for the final sales presentation, write 10+ thank you emails, ask a million questions, feel like you're getting along well with everyone on the team in your 1:1's... and still get a recruiter email saying, "we have decided we will not be moving forward with your candidacy at this time"... apply, by all means. Box, Why do you make a person have to jump through so many hoops? If they display this level of effort to show you that they want to work for your company, take a moment and seriously think about that candidate. And I did this process twice, for two different sales roles! It's a joke. It was all out of my control to begin with. Waste of time.
- Why Box SMB? Recall a time where you failed?

Negative - unorganized, unprofessional, and unkind candidate treatment. For as much as Box prides itself on "being the best place to work", you would think the recruiters would treat candidates with at least a little bit of respect. For example, it takes two seconds to sign off a candidate via phone - which Box recruiters don't do (reading the other reviews here). I have been in other interview processes with other Bay Area tech companies where I only get to the first round and a recruiter will personally call me. In this situation, I made it to almost final rounds and got a (clearly copy and pasted template) email from the recruiter who didn't have the decency, time, or respect for me to take the time and call. The questions in the panel were also very unstructured and vague. Got the same questions repeated to me by various stakeholders - clearly none of them were on the same page about what they wanted to discuss with me. All in all - the process felt lazy and disingenuous. Speaks volumes about a culture... have read very similar reviews here so might be a pattern, unfortunately.
- Tell me about a time you failed.

It was a standard, first round phone interview. The lady was nice and warm and welcoming. It felt very personal but a little unstructured at first, and then we dove into some fairly standard behavioral questions.
- Talk about a time when you experienced a difficult group dynamic

- Call with recruiter - 1-on-1 online coding interview x3 - Culture interview It's very hard to communicate with the recruiter. Usually took 3+ days to respond to emails, if respond at all. Overall process took around 3 weeks. I spend 8 hours interviewing with them, they took a week to send me their final response and it was an automatic rejection email.
- Build an in-memory DB implementation

Had a phone screen with a recruiter from Box for a GTM program manager role. The recruiter asked basic questions about my background and skills, and then we had a fully transparent discussion on what I was looking for, which resulted in my declination of next steps. Overall the interview was great, kudos to the recruiter for hashing out the details so we could make an informed decision together.
