I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Box (Redwood City, CA)
Interview
This is one of the best interview processes I've been through, despite not getting an offer in the end. The questions were well thought-out and applicable to the position/team I was applying for. People were professional, punctual, and friendly. At all times it felt as though they were trying to give me as much opportunity to evaluate them as they were evaluating me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical questions you'd expect. Don't want to give details because I'm sure a lot of work went into creating the questions.
Straightforward. They're looking for your approach towards a problem and how efficient your solution is, they don't care about any coding syntax hiccups.
There were multiple questions (not all LC)
- Unix Commands
- Identify Synchronization Issue in the given code
- Find K Most Frequent words across all files in a given dir path
- Flip Kth Bit
