I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Box (Sunnyvale, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I applied online and got a call from the recruiter within couple days . After a short conversation , she set me up for a phone screen with one of the hiring managers.
The phone screen with the hiring manager and the on-site went well, and I was extended an offer within couple days of my interview .The entire interview process was very efficient, they treat interviewers with respect, and try to have a very short turnaround time with their decision. The team at box was very friendly, professional, and accommodating . I could not accept then due to the timing of some personal events, but I would join box in a heart beat at any other time.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Walk me through a technical problem that you solved .
Recruiter was kind enough to reach out after I applied online. First interview with Hiring manager was not a pleasant experience. He informed me that he is known to interrupt. That was actually true when he asked questions and did not let me respond. Looked like he was biased and already made his judgement before the interview. He was knowledgeable but not enough to judge an experienced candidate and their potential
When asked what are you looking for in the candidate He said ownership to complete a work assigned. He assumed that I wont take ownership at my current role because of the company I work for.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Box (Redwood City, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Very laidback attitude. Questions were resume based & behavioral. No technical questions were asked.
I should have given technical details on my projects, I talked pretty high level and I guess thats why they rejected me.
The last couple of interviewees looked bored but were going through the motions. I picked up the vibe that they had already made up their mind to reject me
