Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process is good. First, they ask something about your background and your motivation for Dropbox, followed by one interview question. At last, you can ask some questions.

The interview process was good. However, after I got the chance for the second round with an appointment, they canceled the interview one day before and are not moving forward anymore. The thing is, I really don't know what I did that made me fail the interview.

Questions

The interview basically asked questions about "gets" and "hits" for a website.

It inquired how you would design the system and what the trade-offs would be.
