Web QA Interview Experience - Redwood City, California
Process
Phone screen with screen share for the coding question. The interviewer was not familiar with the programming language I was using. He was not very clear about the questions he was asking. His voice was breaking continuously, and he didn't write the question in the codepad. I felt the interviewer lacked sufficient expertise to evaluate the work. The manager asked very basic QA questions. Two other interviewers were expected on the panel but were not present.
Questions
Basic programming questions:
- Adding elements from an array
- Finding the max distance between two numbers in an array
Some basic QA questions:
- QA challenges
- How to prioritize tasks
- Difference between static and dynamic pages
- Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

Over time, I've seen Box grow more bureaucratic and the engineering culture decay. I think the engineering culture is still good, but it has gotten worse.
