Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview with HR was very professional.

The technical coding interview was also very professional but, honestly, stupid. Unless one prepares for coding interview questions, and more specifically the question being asked, I can bet none of the Dropbox engineers could solve the problem either in 60 minutes.

Questions

I was asked if I knew the "Game of Thrones" problem.

When I said no, I got the feeling that I would be rejected.

Nonetheless, the interviewer explained the "Game of Thrones" problem to me and then asked me to code it in Go.
