      Pros

      Dropbox is a fantastic place to work. I work with passionate and driven colleagues who believe in the future and success of the company. We are all working together towards common goals and this cohesiveness facilitates great collaboration, removal of unnecessary barriers and speed of execution. The Virtual First model presents so many opportunities to balance work and life, while we also have lots of events and meet ups to help build that workplace bond.

      Cons

      Working from home by default means that we need to be really intentional about building connections with colleagues outside of our immediate stakeholder group. Initiatives like 'Coffeebox' and Neighbourhoods are creating meaningful and fun opportunities to connect.

    2. How do you stay motivated working at a company that’s clearly struggling, not laying off yet, but it probably peaked? I work in internal Strat at a (Dropbox, Zoom, PayPal) and it feels like the best days are behind us, but people internally are still talking about promos, career growth etc. not sure how I can grow if the company dies

      Companies peak but if they’re successful there is still opportunities for career growth given how long the fall takes. Amazon likely peaked ahead of its share price exceeding $3K per share in 2020. There has been a stock restructuring and fall in share price aling with a massive talent exodus. Still it’s a massive company and somewhere people can build experience and career skills to take elsewhere. Also you’re likely being paid well so there should be a lot of opportunity to be motivated about.

      Senior Financial Analyst

      I went through the final round of interview last Thursday with the CFO. It seemed to have went well, she said she'll talk to me soon. I haven't heard back yet. When is an appropriate time to follow up. And should I email the recruiter or the hiring manager?

      Customer Service Representative CSR

      I had an interview this afternoon for a customer service position in a call center. The ad was very vague to begin with and at the end of it I felt like I really didn't know anything more about the job. When I asked about the starting pay, which was not published in the ad, they looked incredulous (they were doing on-the-spot hiring today) and then asked me "What's your range?" And only responded with "I think we could meet that." And still never gave me a straight answer. Is this a red flag?

      Software Engineer

      I did my initial interview with a “better established” startup and they said the interview process is 5 interviews. 3 technical then 1 interview with the CEO then another technical interview. Idk about you but that seems like a lot of interviews and they said they want to do it as fast as possible in a short time span. Is this a normal amount of interviews? Is this a red flag? For a full stack software position 4-5 years exp how much salary should be the norm in a hcol area?
