Pros
- I have a fierce respect and sense of adoration for the people I work with. My colleagues are helpful, they're ridiculously intelligent, and most importantly, they're down-to-earth, genuinely good people who are committed to creating something special. - Leadership is informed, capable, and does a great job empathizing with all areas of the company. Our office lead has spent time on every team to better understand what's working and what's not working so well. My team lead gives me the support I need to do my job well and gives appropriate feedback to help me perform even better. If something about my job is "broken," my team and my lead work together to fix it rather than say "there's not much we can do about that." - I am challenged to teach myself new things, and I'm also given the latitude to tackle projects that 1) appeal to me and 2) need to be done without the tons of red tape you might find elsewhere. I'm pushed to step outside my comfort zone without being overwhelmed. Also, I'm given lots of opportunity to be recognized for my work. - Every consideration has been made to ensure that our working environment is healthy, productive, convenient, and fun. The benefits are excellent. My stress levels are low. I look forward to coming to work. Dropbox puts its people first, and we return the favor by working hard and thinking creatively every day.
Cons
- It can be a challenge working with some users. - Dropbox is such a complex service that it takes awhile to learn the ropes, and a very long time to become a technical expert.
