Dropbox onsite interview
How does it compare with FANG in terms of difficulty? I heard that they frequently ask questions about multithreading/concurrency as well.
Questions were only slightly more difficult than Fb/G. Also seconding the concurrency part. I was told one out of all the interviews would include concurrency but it actually ended up being two of the interviews.
What kind of concurrency question?
Questions can be slightly harder than Google because they are not on leetcode. But we have a smaller pool of questions.
How hard and how long does it take to get past the resume screen?
Just apply on their website, I did and after few days got a response from the recruiter. They are one of the few companies that look at applications from their website . I wish you the best!
So how was the interview. What level of questions are asked. I have onsite coming up. Very curious. Please let me know.
Will understanding how to do well known concurrency(rw lock, producer/consumer, etc...) problems in ur lang of choice be good enough?
Knowing the implementation of those should he enough. Free language of choice
Just an update after the interview. The concurrency question was a twist on a classic one but I struggled a bit (I would give no hire myself). Hope I sent enough signals in the other ones. Already heard that feedback for architecture one was great, but rest are kinda toss up.
What is your YOE? Let us know about the result and good luck!
Had one recently. I agree about the concurrency. Of at least 5 interviews, only 2 involved actual coding. Rest were design and soft skills.
