Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I talked to a recruiter on the phone about Dropbox's products and available positions.

Then, I had an online coding interview session.

The question wasn't tricky; it involved string matching with a rolling hash.

The interviewer could have been a bit more helpful to enable the best thinking out of the candidate. Ultimately, as a candidate, I should be a lot more prepared in algorithms when it comes to recognized companies in the Bay Area.

Questions

String matching in a file.

Knowledge of a rolling hash algorithm should be helpful.
