Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Dropbox is exactly the same as every other tech company now. They don't care about your resume; they probably don't even care what your name is. You get a CoderPad link and you follow it. Type the right answer or don't.

Dropbox seems to have a good reputation, so it was disappointing to see that they just follow the same cookie-cutter, anonymizing, dehumanizing process as anyone else. This tells me that working there is just like working anywhere else, but with shade-grown coffee and every other pointless West Coast office cliché.

The person interviewing me was very curt and quick to sign off. Why did I even bother telling them my name? Why did they tell me theirs?
