Dropbox initially contacted me, stating they would schedule an interview after I filled out a questionnaire. After submitting the questionnaire, however, I received an email shortly thereafter stating Dropbox and I "were not a match" and that they appreciated my taking the extra time to get to know them. It was only after I responded to the email, thanking them for the opportunity, that I received a follow-up email saying, "Our system misfired and sent you a rejection :/". This second email stated that Dropbox would like to fly me out to SF for a final round interview (despite the fact that I had not yet had a single interview).
Before I could send a response correcting them, I got yet another email with almost the exact same formatting, except with the following text: "The next step is a call and then an interview in SF for a final round :-) (ack technology!)". The phrase "ack technology" was not something I expected to hear from a representative of a file hosting service. In any event, I continued with the interview process.
My first interview was scheduled, but on the day of the interview, my HR representative emailed me, stating she did not realize my interviewer would not actually be at work that day. Finally, my interview was rescheduled and I had a reasonably short interview filled with quirky but non-technical questions.
Unfortunately, I received an email a few days later rejecting me from the position. However, the kicker was that it was the exact same email I had received after filling out my questionnaire. Dropbox needs to understand that its HR department is an important part of the company's image and that, at the moment, the department reflects very poorly on the company.

Who would you give a magic power to? What power would you give? And why?
