      Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

      3 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dropbox (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      This is the first interviewing experience that was so negative, it prompted me to write my first interviewing review. DropBox had a Software Engineering workshop on campus. Here they got me really excited for my upcoming DropBox interview. It turns out the engineers at the workshop made DropBox engineers seem enthusiastic and approachable. My experience interviewing was the exact opposite. My MIT-grad interviewer spoke really quickly, and extraordinarily apathetic. It sounded as he had done the same interview 250 times previous, and I was the 251st candidate. He wasn't paying attention to how I was solving the problem or to what I was saying. One time, I asked him his thoughts, and he said VERBATIM "yeah, I don't know, whatever". I tried to make small jokes and laugh with him, but his attitude was impenetrable. Worse: Lots of preparation went into this, and I learned nothing from the interview. The question was easy; I came up with an optimal solution immediately (checked online after interview). I solved the question and follow-ups with ease in 40 minutes out of the 1 hour scheduled. If they are not going to pass me, at least give me a hard question so I can learn something from the interview? As usual, no feedback from interview. I even asked the interviewer for feedback as the interview ended, and he actually declined to respond. Don't waste your time with this company as I had.
