Pros

The company has a very employee-friendly culture: a lot of time they go out of their way to make sure employees are happy & productive. A few times they even go too far, making me as an employee feel that they are spending too much money / time on small employee perks. You can easily see the results of Dropbox having a very high hiring bar - everybody here is ridiculously smart :)

Cons

Some growing pains are expected, given the company's trajectory and current size. I doubt they could have done it better. Biggest con: everybody is smart but sometimes part of the work doesn't require you to be smart, just meticulous. It's sometimes tricky to balance that out (Google had the same problem back in the day).

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
