The recruiting process at Dropbox was one of the most disorganized I’ve experienced at a company of this size. It started with a heavily proctored CodeSignal test requiring camera, microphone, and full screen recording the entire time. After passing, communication issues began. The recruiter ghosted multiple times, including for over a week, later blaming a company outing. Scheduling the final Virtual Day 1 (multiple technical rounds including a Deep Dive) took nearly two weeks. The recruiter sent emails to the wrong address twice. After the interviews, I had to follow up myself. They claimed a rejection email had been sent (which never arrived), then offered detailed feedback and promised to reply within an hour, only to ghost again. The final rejection mentioned “technical gaps,” even though I answered every question during the Deep Dive. No actual feedback was ever provided despite repeated promises. For a major tech company, the complete lack of basic communication, accountability, and respect for candidates’ time was surprising and disappointing. Multiple broken promises and ghosting made the entire process feel chaotic and disrespectful. You have been warned!

Applied online, received invite link to complete codesignal assessment shortly after. Rejected a while after without ever talking to a single human. Overall shows the company can't be bothered to take the time to talk to you.
