Process

I applied for the Senior Software Engineer role at Box's Amsterdam office via LinkedIn. The first call with the recruiter went very well; they explained the process and the role clearly.

Next was an online coding assessment with a developer, which took around 1.5 hours.

After that, I was invited for four more interviews. Two were technical and the other two were behavioral.

Overall, I had a very positive experience. The questions presented real-life, work-related challenges, and the interviewers were very friendly. The recruiter also provided more than enough guidance before the on-site interviews.
