I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Box (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Initiated the process through TripleByte. Spoke with the hiring manager who promised to get back as soon as possible. I did follow up a few times but got a rejection through the TripleByte platform (did not even get an automated email OR follow-up from the Hiring Manager). Overall, very unimpressed with the process, the ageism and the complete lack of communication.
When I spoke with the Hiring Manger, she seemed happy with my TripleByte scores but was concerned that because I only had 7 YOE, I was not capable of passing the bar of a Senior Engineer. At no point did she ask any technical questions or about the nature of my work, she just instantly came to a determination that I was not "Senior" material.
Looks like this experience was an anomaly as I applied to several other companies in the Bay Area (through TripleByte) as a Senior Engineer and interviewed for as well as received offers for these positions as well.
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
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Box in Feb 2026
Interview
Short screening with HR. Followed by dropdown implementation fix for frontend. Then to implement todo list via React. Last full-stack to implement Cart logic with pseudocode. Interviews around one hour long. And interviewers are pretty chill and ready to help you in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a cart logic specification document intended for a backend development team to use as an implementation guide.
At first I applied via job board, then recruiter screening, one week leater System design interview and Coding interview. I get declined at this step with quiet big feedback. All take around 3 weeks. And meeting in summarize was 4 hours.
