Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redwood City, California

Process

I was approached by the recruitment team a few weeks after I submitted my application. The recruiter was friendly and provided a well-rounded overview of the process.

Box's typical process is:

  1. 60-minute phone screen.

On-Site Round (Assuming you did well on the phone screen): 2. 2-hour coding challenge 3. 2-4 x 45-minute coding rounds 4. 1-hour system design/presentation 5. 1-hour behavioral round

They were willing to split the "on-site" round over two days and were able to come back with an offer after 2-3 business days. The interviews were standard coding challenges, and if you have been a hands-on coder, you should be able to handle the interview rounds very well.

Questions

I can't disclose the exact questions.

However, I would prepare for coding challenges, LeetCode, and some low-level design coding exercises. I would also study system design, covering at least all popular questions, to get a good overview for solving any question thrown at you.
