      Application

      I interviewed at Box (Warsaw, Masovia)

      Interview

      Apart from HR interview they have 6 interviews to evaluate you that takes more than 6 hours. This is ridiculous amount of interviews for the Polish market not usually seen even at Google and similar companies. I always had shorter better designed processes in my long career. The positives: - they provide at least some feedback in the end - technical project retrospective interview was the only down to earth interview with questions and discussions relevant to the job. Now all the negatives: - the amount of interviews was very redundant because of some similarities between them and could be easily cut in half at least. - the messaging around the length of the process is rather manipulative. They congratulate you with going to the last stage of the process. It turns out the last stage is 5 interviews! - the content of the interviews was mostly far away from Android development or Mobile in general. Most of the time I didn't encounter active mobile devs. I doubt they are good at evaluating the actual skills used at the job. The tasks were rather artificial and irrelevant to the job. - something is off with their culture. It has cultish vibes in the interviews already. And the Culture Interview is especially reflective of it. It's really weird and out of touch compared to your typical soft skills interview.  - while there was some feedback it looks a bit weird. Pros and cons are presented as equal weights. But cons are mostly rather small nitpicky things that cat be easily learned, things they didn't ask very deeply about, things unrelated to mobile applications at all. Considering the very small amount of time for Android skills evaluation, the selection of interviewers and a huge amount of irrelevant tasks it's not surprising. - there might be something sketchy going on with the job position in general. It has been on Linkedin for a long time and keeps being updated there for months. I doubt they can't find a dev on a market full of qualified people for such a long time. - they claim to be diverse. Not only I didn't see much diversity in the interviewers but long tedious interview processes with poorly designed irrelevant tasks are known to facilitate discrimination of all kinds. I went with their process to strengthen my interviewing skills but it was a tedious mistake. It's not good for very experienced devs because there are bettter options with shorter interviews at least in Poland. It's a waste of time for not very experienced devs as well because other companies have more practical interview stages and are less nitpicky.

      Question 1

      They are under NDA. Not even worth talking about since it makes more sense to look at companies with better processes, see what they ask and avoid wasting time.
