I reconnected with a recruiter who had reached out to me in the past. The introductory call was pretty typical.

I then set up a phone screen for a technical interview. The technical interview itself was very unpleasant.

None of the interviewers had their cameras turned on, and they clearly seemed very inexperienced. I was interviewed by a junior engineer with perhaps one year of experience, and that person was somehow being shadowed by an intern.

After the interview, I heard absolutely nothing and never heard from that recruiter again.

About six months later, I received an email from a random person at Dropbox stating that the position had been removed.

It almost seemed like this was one of those fake job postings designed to give the false perception that the company is growing and hiring. I find it strange that this position would have stayed open for so long, especially at a time when demand for big tech jobs is so high.
