Box Software Engineer interview experience

I went into a coding round where they asked me multiple questions, not all from standard LeetCode—topics like running through Unix command-style scenarios, identifying a synchronization issue in a given code snippet, finding the top K most frequent words across files in a directory, and flipping the Kth bit. The way I felt evaluated was consistent: how I broke down the problem, how efficiently I proposed a solution, and how I reasoned through edge cases.

Another round was less like typical algorithm puzzles and more about fixing/refactoring code I was given. The interviewer provided a small
