Interview
I applied online for a role in Box Amsterdam.
The process took about a month and included:
1. 30 minutes recruiter call
2. 1 hour technical code screening
3. 4.5 hours remote "on-site" session including 1 hour of algorithm and design interview, 2 hours coding exercise, 30 minutes behavioral interview, 1 hour tech project retrospective interview
4. 30 minutes hiring manager interview
The process was very transparent and respectful. All interviewers were nice and friendly. It felt like the interviewers were trying to help me and not fail me.
