I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dropbox (Providence, RI) in Nov 2016
Interview
They send me a HackerRank Coding Question.The HackerRank Coding Question was fairly basic and didn't require any knowledge of algorithms to solve. After I completed it, they got back to me within a few days and I had an initial phone screening interview. The question was fairly basic, about server stuff mainly and required some knowledge about problems that large companies would face.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Even though questions were very difficult, they were a good indication of the work that Dropbox SWE do, which I really appreciated.
I had to complete a hackerrank challenge and it was 90 minutes long. It was the grid illumination challenge and I found it pretty challenging and didnt pass the test cases. However, the process was still very fun and I had a great time.
