Pros

I have had the privilege of working for one of the best companies out there. Even though I was initially skeptical about virtual onboarding, the way Dropbox has mastered the virtual first work model has truly impressed me and serves as a shining example for other companies. This impressive feat is all thanks to the clear thinking and leadership of Drew Houston, whose vision has led to the company's stability and continued growth even in these challenging times.

Cons

Good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Dropbox is one of the few companies of its size that seem to genuinely care about employee wellness. Work/life balance is good, PTO is unlimited, compensation is fair. They are careful to avoid over-hiring to reduce the chances of future layoffs. Virtual First = can work from anywhere.

Cons

It's more political than ideal. Can be difficult to get promoted. Very difficult to push decisions through when there are cross-team dependencies. Frequent leadership changes and annual reorgs. Comp is location based, so pay is significantly lower outside of major metro areas.
