- Challenging work
- Fooood

Pros

love the people. My manager is awesome. Amazing 5 star food everyday is nice too

Pros

A company that truly values its people. It's so rare to work in such a caring and kind environment. The group of folks that Dropbox recruits are innately collaborative and open-minded. I know that this culture has been maintained by the people in senior management and they have been cautious about adding the right talent.

I'm so glad to have been part of the team and look back fondly on my time spent there.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great visibility to employees in all offices. It was great getting color on how executive decisions are made.

Pros

Amazing benefits
Flexibility to work from home
Smart people
Teammates feel like family
Relaxed/comfortable environment
Great product!!!

Advice to Management

I would love my job at Dropbox if I felt like my time was well spent on the job I was hired for, and if lower/middle level managers were stronger. Lack of strong team leadership from managers, being short-staffed, and going through ever-changing processes make work stressful and take away any possibility of going above and beyond with innovation. Putting out fires is the norm , and that makes me feel very uncomfortable and unmotivated at times. I don't feel like I'm growing in my career.

Overall Dropbox is an amazing company. I love the product, the C-level management team is fantastic, and I've met some great friends and coworkers. I hope processes improve and resourcing is more appropriately fitted to each group that needs support.

Pros

Really strong engineering team. Teammates are curious and competent. I enjoy knowing that any random person I meet on a cross-functional project will generally be a pleasure to work with.

Plenty of big challenges to sink your teeth into. If you're up for the task, career growth has a stellar trajectory.

Work-life balance is excellent both on a weekly basis and regarding vacation. Unlimited vacation lives up to its claims here.

Advice to Management

Control the quality of lower management more carefully.

Outline a stronger technical and product strategy with a time horizon of greater than a year. While it's nice that so many of our recent innovations have come out of random engineers hacking around, it does diminish confidence in leadership's ability to, you know, lead.

The recent rebranding, which appears to have been driven from the top down, makes my eyes bleed.

The core business has been and is doing well, so good job so far.

Pros

Great onboarding process, very supportive team/culture/environment, and excellent benefits.

Pros

The employees of Dropbox are smart, engaging, and highly-talented. The benefits are first-class, the Tuck Shop (employee restaurant) is incredible, and the facility comes with all the “tech perks” you can hope for.

Moreover, everyone in the company is motivated by a shared vision and healthy growth-oriented culture.

Advice to Management

Stay focused on your core values (keep it cupcake)
