Pros

People Wages Freedom People Perks. The Dublin office is small and homely. The people are incredible and the office is doing amazing things.

Cons

Limited career path due to the early stage the office is in. Lots of smart people in the same place, there is a challenge to make sure people don't get bored/become stagnant.

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

The people. Everybody I work with inspires me. The benefits and compensation are great. The culture is fun but we get work done.

Cons

We still don't have the great internal tooling that large tech companies like Google or Facebook might have. But we're getting there.
