I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dropbox (Warsaw, Masovia) in Apr 2024
Interview
Pre-screen:
Design in-memory database with 4 levels of requirements. More focused on good code structure and flexibility than on algorithms.
(if you are reasonably familiar, imo. Google interviews are super algorithmic).
Technical 1 + 2:
Done one after another in 2h session.
NDA signed, but one of them was pretty similar to the pre-screen, some file scanning app.
The other one was more algorithmic, focused on tricky backtracking.
Nice, practical interviews, but I didn't have luck.

Question 1
Design in-memory database with 4 levels of requirements. More focused on good code structure and flexibility than on algorithms.
I applied online. I interviewed at Dropbox in Apr 2026
Interview
take home OA, two technical rounds, system design and wrap up call with hiring manager. Very transparent, recruiter is there for you describing process in detail, they really want you to get hired
I did OA and phone screen. During the phone screen, the HR did not ask too much questions about myself and mainly spent time talking about next steps. And then ghost me from there. This is not a good interview experience and a timely feedback or reject would be much better.

Question 1
Describe yourself and what is your goal in your new job
Initial coding exam with extreme difficulty, leetcode type exam with a time limit. After that you progress to an onsite interview with system design questions. The initial coding exam has about 3 multistep questions.
