I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Box (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Very thoughtful interview process. I interviewed with a lot of Bay Area tech companies and none were as thoughtful and human as Box was. There was a standard recruiter screening call, interview with the hiring manager, 3 to 4 peer interviews, then a presentation. The whole process and timeline was thoroughly communicated the entire time. There was a rubric for the presentation and a phone call beforehand to make sure I was set up for success. They were never trying to trick me like other tech companies do which I appreciated!

Question 1
Why do you think you are a good fit for this role?
I applied online. I interviewed at Box in Jun 2024
Interview
Grueling. 6 interviews total with the last one being a presentation with 5 person panel. Horrible experience- panel was 8 minutes late, didn’t care what my presentation was about. They were more so concerned with “being the worst customer I’ve ever had” Direct words. Since the panel was late I had to cut certain things out of my presentation, which I only did after gauging the panel what was top of mind to cover for the mock presentation. When they relayed feedback to the recruiter, they said I was missing key pieces in my presentation!
