Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Phone screening. Dropbox seems to only ask a few questions that they always ask. They can all be found on this website.

On the second round, the interviewer found out that I had seen the first question and thus went directly to the second one. I took an approach that was not very easy to implement and didn't do well.

Interviews these days are so fake.
