Dropbox Reviews

Pros

I've been at Dropbox for over four years - this review is long overdue! *COVID Support* I can't flesh out details, but I've personally felt supported by my manager, colleagues, and all of Dropbox leadership during this challenging time. Though I don't know what it's like to be a working parent right now, I see so much support at every level of the organization for all employees. This is made possible by many things and in large part the culture of trust (see below) *Culture of Trust* There's a culture of trust among managers and individual contributors. I've consistently seen teams where managers empower individual contributors and vice versa. This may not be a universal experience (cause I don't interact with every team at the company), but I can confidently say that there's a support structure in place at the leadership and programmatic level to facilitate this trust. *Mission & Values-Driven Company* We've come a long way as a company to find our niche. Dropbox has become so much more than just a cloud filesharing company, and our mission and values are personally very motivating. I've worked at companies where the mission and values were not as focal, and it makes a world of difference in how people work together towards common goals. *Perks & Work/Life Balance* A lot has already said on this topic... can attest that the perks are good and work/life balance is good, ceteris paribus

Cons

To hopefully ensure my post's credibility, I boldly flesh out some cons! I will temper this section by saying that you would be hard-pressed to find a company of Dropbox's side where these aren't challenges. *Structure Changes* I've come to expect this! If you're like me, these changes keep things exciting + interesting. If you're someone who enjoys years and years of zero structural changes and years of the same kind / scope of work, this might be a con of working here. *Diversity* Our diversity report is public - look it up if you're inclined. It's something that Dropbox is always trying to be better at and not only meet the bar relative to other companies, but Dropbox is trying to raise the bar. Personally I am optimistic that we will do better in the near future, as our leadership team champions diversity commitments and they are supported by a receptive employee population and a fantastic team of Diversity & Inclusion practitioners. *Commute* (pre/post covid) Office location is not ideal from a commute perspective -- however, this is offset by some perks we have for ridesharing / commuter benefits. [COVID PRO: commute time == 0]

Its the feeling of getting things done faster smoother. And before time. So I'm ready I very gud at getting others in ghe name. And to the guys the say dont work hard ? Let's show them with the right motivation! Ya!

Cons

To come up with the next hot way of getting what we do to everyone in the world. Now that is going to be great 👍

Cons

-no major cons that are worth mentioning. any bad experiences that i've heard of have been either interpersonal and anecdotal or very specific to an individual's career goals and not a Dropbox company issue
