Process

I applied through LinkedIn and was contacted by a recruiter the next day and had a chat with the recruiter. Then had a phone screen interview with an engineer and solved a problem on CollabEdit.

Next day, I was asked to fly to Box headquarters for a full-day interview. All travel expenses were covered by Box.

There was a little scheduling problem for the first interview, but since I had a lot of time in the day, it was okay. Talked to four different engineers and solved whiteboard and coding problems on a computer. Had lunch with the hiring manager. The recruiters and the engineers were very friendly and made me feel very comfortable.

I got the offer and after some negotiations, accepted the offer.
