I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Box (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied online, recruiter contacted me and arranged telephonic interview within few days. Interviewer asked to me solve the elevator problem. I tried my level best to solve the problem including good amount of coding. The result came back as I am not fit for now. I really don't understand what is their expectation.
Straightforward. They're looking for your approach towards a problem and how efficient your solution is, they don't care about any coding syntax hiccups.
There were multiple questions (not all LC)
- Unix Commands
- Identify Synchronization Issue in the given code
- Find K Most Frequent words across all files in a given dir path
- Flip Kth Bit
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Box in Feb 2026
Interview
Short screening with HR. Followed by dropdown implementation fix for frontend. Then to implement todo list via React. Last full-stack to implement Cart logic with pseudocode. Interviews around one hour long. And interviewers are pretty chill and ready to help you in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a cart logic specification document intended for a backend development team to use as an implementation guide.
At first I applied via job board, then recruiter screening, one week leater System design interview and Coding interview. I get declined at this step with quiet big feedback. All take around 3 weeks. And meeting in summarize was 4 hours.
