Process
A third-party recruiter contacted me and referred me to Dropbox. I then had a call with a Dropbox recruiter to discuss my experience and available opportunities.
They scheduled a phone interview with a Software Engineer.
I had a phone interview with the SWE (Product), which went well. They then asked me to interview with someone else on another team (Infrastructure). That interview went okay.
I followed up with the recruiter and didn't hear back. After another week, I emailed again. The recruiter said he'd get back to me the following week, and that was the last time I heard from him.
Questions
They asked questions similar to the ones already posted on Glassdoor.
