About two weeks after submitting my resume, a Dropbox recruiter reached out to organize a phone screen. After establishing that I require a US visa and the application deadline is fast approaching, two phone interviews were scheduled back to back on the shortest possible notice. Within 24 hours, an invite to the headquarters was extended, and by the time weekend rolled around I was flown from Europe to San Francisco, expenses paid. I was encouraged to take a couple of days to rest, enjoy the city, and recover from the jet lag before interviewing. Once fresh and ready, I went through a full day of on-site interviews, including discussing past projects, hands-on coding, and data structures/algorithmic whiteboard questions. The day was intense, fast paced, and accentuated with the delicious Tuck Shop food and perfectly brewed coffee. The Dropbox interviewers were smart, yet approachable, knowledgable, yet humble. Within two hours of completing the interview, a preliminary offer was hinted at. After I flew home, a full offer was extended, negotiated on, and signed, all within a day. Essentially, everything happened at the speed of light.
