Pros

- Great culture which is attracting the best talents from all other tech (or non-tech!) companies who are looking for a new challenge (there are lots of early Googlers looking for the same kind of atmosphere as in the early days). I find the culture very team based, where every input is valued. - Never a dull moment - product and teams are in constant evolution, meaning you change role, and progress fast - Office space, food, etc is amazing :-) - People are amazing... did I say it already??

Cons

Not exactly a "cons", but you need to be comfortable with shifting priorities and moving hierarchical structures. It's as far as you can imagine from a traditional and rigid corporation.

Pros

The people are amazing! I've met some of the most intelligent, motivated, accomplished and fun people since i've started working here. It really is the people that make Dropbox what it is. The company places such value on Recruitment. I see this first hand working on the Recruiting team - everyone is willing to get involved including co-founders and senior management. I've learned so much since starting here 8 months ago. I've had the opportunity to develop skills and work on projects that I really enjoy. The culture is very open and accommodating for everyone. Working in the Dublin office is so fun. We've people from over 8 countries working here and we've developed our own Dublin Dropbox culture! We're growing so quickly and it's so exciting to be a part of the team here.

Cons

I honestly haven't found any cons of working here yet! It's been a great experience so far
