I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dropbox
Interview
The initial application process is very simple. I submitted my CV online via the Dropbox careers webpage. The following working day I received an email from a Dropbox employee looking to find a date for an initial phone screening. I was asked to give all available times for the next two weeks. The phone call lasted about 30 minutes. She first asked me to explain a little bit about myself and to go through my cv. She explained a little bit about dropbox and also her role. I was asked how I thought Dropbox could be improved and also what my proudest achievement so far was. No feedback was given.
