Pros

After working at other major/top silicon valley companies, Dropbox is definitely the best company I've worked at. The level of technical talent here is better than pretty much any other company (and Dropbox maintains a high hiring bar to make sure that it doesn't drop). This provides a lot of opportunity for learning and means that I can fully trust my coworkers to produce excellent work. I also get a lot of control over what I work on and how it should be implemented. My manager/PM are always open to suggestions on how things should work from the technical to the product level, and I don't usually have to go through them anyway. Work/life balance is great. I don't work weekends at all and I have yet to go above 50 hours a week (not including meals at the office). Compensation is on par or better than any other company in SV and the perks are great (best food of any tech company!).

Cons

The company is still growing very quickly which means that a lot of the processes aren't as set in stone as they are at larger/more stable companies. This means that when trying to do certain things, no one really has a good idea of how to go about it (e.g. compensation reviews were only standardized relatively recently). This doesn't actually affect much in practice, however, as everyone I've met is more than wiling to work with you to make sure things are made right.

Pros

Very intelligent people, great work / life balance, real start-up motivated atmosphere. Compensation is very competitive and includes, meals, travel etc. Fit matters incredibly at Dropbox, and everyone there is incredibly friendly.

Cons

Must be very excited about Dropbox and its products, and know the product very well. Need to be a quick learner and very motivated. Interviews can be very difficult and questions can be tricky

Pros

Dropbox should really be one of the companies you are considering joining. We have a great team of people working together to build awesome product that makes life better. Apart from that, pay is good, benefits great and culture amazing.

Cons

We have some intense challenges ahead of us so if you want a rest & vest position don't bother applying.
