Dropbox Software Engineer reviews

We focus on making the users life simpler and are trying to build a company that makes money because people pay us for what we offer, which is fairly unique in this day and age where most companies are focused on eyeballs to show ads. We also solve challenging technical problems at scale both on the client (large amounts of personal data, in fast low resource clients, across a wide variety of platforms) and in our backend (large amounts of data, mostly unique per user). And when we build things we strive to build them correctly. Both because we're protecting data that is precious to our users, but also because we believe in quality and things just working for our users. Benefits, time off, etc are all world class; but they're not the reason you should work here. The reason to work here is the focus on the user, the focus on quality, and solving hard engineering problems.

Dropbox is a zany, high-velocity, awesomely creative, best-food-in-town, friendly place to work. I really enjoy: great engineering talent, well-reasoned decisions, high end restaurant quality food, a multitude of perks, creative projects, and great transparency.
