Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had a technical interview and was notified that I had moved on to a phone call with a recruiter.

It was a behavioral interview. The recruiter repeatedly asked about my hobbies. I guess hiking and video games weren't impressive enough, because after another question, she came back to this and asked me what other hobbies I have.

Oh well. I guess I am not cool enough for Dropbox. I am just an ordinary nerd who loves coding.
