awesome place to work! Company culture really improved since 2013
Pros
awesome place to work! People are all very "nice". Some amazingly smart people work at Dropbox...the creator of Python, a couple ex-principal engineers from Google, and some top competition coders from MIT/Harvard/Stanford/etc just to name a few. Internally the culture and practices have really matured as well. Lots of investment in engineering tools and people development that didn't exist before. 3 years ago Dropbox was much less formal about this and it meant that if you were passive you might not get the feedback/opportunities you need to grow. These days that's fixed with the company investing lots in building up its people and helping them to find the right opportunities that fit them. I'm still very optimistic about the business. Dropbox's renewed focus on enterprise (while still supporting a best-in-class consumer product) is unlocking a huge revenue stream and the team is laser focused on building it right. Given recent revenue, the 10B valuation seems pretty fair.
Cons
- still some growing pains, but overall the company has become much more mature! - larger company makes it hard to know everyone and develop empathy for other teams and their goals
