I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Box
Interview
They had recruiters invite a ton of people to a drink and sync. I was excited at the prospect of meeting people who worked at Box, and learning more about them, and telling them about me. Well there were about 60 people in a room all trying to talk to current employees, all trying to make a good impression. This made it tough to get any one on one time with a person for very long periods of time. Anyway, I got an email the next day telling me I was not an ideal candidate for the position. How does anybody know anything about me from a five-minute chat at a mixer? Just know if they invite you to this, it is a giant cattle call and you really don't have a chance to Showcase your personality and background much.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the people I engage with would ask me where I currently worked and that was it.
Very inconsistent communication. Long gaps with no updates, followed by urgent requests to interview. The process felt unstructured and poorly coordinated. Felt unprofessional and disorganised. Not sure why, maybe I was just a backup.
Great interview process, quite lengthy but really well thought out. There was a call with recruiters, then hiring managers conversations, cultural fit call, panel meeting and then an in person meeting.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Box (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
Applied online. Did initial recruiter interview, seemed very positive during the call and said she was going to follow up after the call to move me to the next round. Never received any follow up and was ghosted after emailing twice. Awful.
