Dropbox is a company that's growing like wildfire, and with that comes opportunities to grow your career. We're laying the foundation, both technically and culturally, for years to come, and we all have an opportunity to make an impact.
This is especially true in New York, where we're building the company's first remote engineering office. I feel that the company headquarters in San Francisco supports us and is empowering us to succeed.
Across the company, I've worked on meaningful projects with incredibly-smart people.
Work-life balance is a tricky thing at a company that's doing so many different things and growing in so many different directions. Dropbox has (to great benefit) been stingy about hiring, but it means that there are fewer people to do more things. Work-life balance is certainly respected, but I find myself sometimes struggling to disconnect, though that may be me more than Dropbox.
I had a phone screen with a technical recruiter. They then gave me more information about the next step, which was the technical phone interview. The technical phone interview lasted an hour.
In-person "screen interview" of 3.5 hours. Worked through some technical problems; it was fairly easy. Nothing too hard. Felt like an overall positive experience, although my interviewers were recent graduates and I have 14 years of job experience.
The HackerRank challenge was followed by a phone interview. They are understandably, or try to be, obsessed with file-related LeetCode-style questions. The coding test consisted of implementing shared text editor features, such as highlighting text
