Process

I was contacted via LinkedIn by a recruiter. We had an initial 30-minute call, during which she didn't know a lot about the specific position but discussed Dropbox in general.

Following that, I had a call with the hiring manager. This interview included many technical questions, some business process questions, and inquiries about the product itself. Some of these questions are listed on Glassdoor for this role, such as:

  • What happens under the hood when you open a URD in a browser?
  • What do you need to do to change the access rights to a file on Linux?

After the hiring manager call, I was invited for onsite sessions with five different people. These interviews lasted for three hours and were all informal, conversational style sessions. I spoke with a variety of individuals, from solution architects to country managers.

Finally, I was invited back for a mock discovery call and Product Management interviews.
