Dropbox reviews

There is an emphasis to hire what they call "Dropboxy" people. "Dropboxy" might as well be a proxy for entitled, youthful, conceited, and inexperienced. The general lack of experience and professionalism at the company is appalling and the scalability of the current business model is not really there. They have some severe issues with diversity as it relates to diversity of opinion or interests. Basically if you aren't a Brogrammer, you will not like it. Most amount of crazy politics I have ever experienced in a job.

All that glitters isn't gold. Despite the glitz of the perks, many people at Dropbox are really unhappy. This is due to several things: - Bad managers. Like, really bad. Very little training offered to new managers, and the company does not take action on managers who are consistently rated poorly or who have a lot of turnover on their team. - Very little career development. If you're mid-to-senior level and you're looking for autonomy and responsibility, this is likely not the place for you. - Dropbox is NOT a meritocracy. Many leveling and compensation decisions are based on favorites and are inconsistent from team to team, or level to level. - Despite being a relatively small company, it's tough to get things done. Weighed down by red tape and bureaucracy. If you're someone who is execution-oriented and likes to move fast, look elsewhere.
