I applied online. I interviewed at Dropbox in Dec 2020
Interview
OA -> 1 hour technical phone interview -> recruiter chat -> final round
The response times between each portion was pretty long, so the overall process felt unorganized. I waited 2 weeks to receive a response after my phone interview. The final round was 2 technical, 1 personality. Technical wasn't too bad, mostly mediums although there were more difficult follow ups. I wasn't asked any OS questions. I would recommend brushing up on runtime/space analysis and data structures.
HR interview first and then two technical rounds. The first round of the tech round is for writing code, and the second round is for code review. both are 1 hour.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dropbox in Jan 2025
Interview
OA > Recruiter call > Two part Technical > Behavioral.
OA was a code signal not too bad, technical was 2 hours with 30 minute break. Interviewers were nice but had clear criteria.
Leetcode, graphs in first technical interview. Then system design. Then behavioral. All interviews seemed chill and the people I talked to were positive. All interviews happened in one day. Very good experience.
