      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dropbox in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Received an auto generated email to complete an automated code screening challenge. If the company cannot even bother to set up an actual person to do the interview, how bad is their culture going to be!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      This is a robot. Waste your time answering these coding questions so we can determine whether the company should spend time with you because the company is more important than you and you are worthless.
