Pros
Like many companies, Dropbox has amazing perks -- excellent food, really nice onsite gym, and there's no commute as it's located in SF. Most people at the company are nice, smart, humble, and hardworking, but the hiring bar has been lowered quite a bit over the last year. This is a great place to start your career if you're entry-level.
Cons
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.
