Pros

- The food is honestly one of the best parts about working at Dropbox. The culinary teams really go above and beyond almost every single day to serve up really unique and high quality dishes. - The office aesthetic is very cool and clean. Dropbox as a company is very design focused and it seems like they took that into account when designing their new office.

Cons

- Cocky attitude about being a "small startup" that thinks they "made it" because they have fancy perks like the other big tech companies - Work/life balance - Very little room to grow within certain teams - Need a lot more process before they'll be successful for the long term - Give managers (especially new managers!) much more training before taking on new reports and build teams - Need to be more transparent in recruiting process into what job will actually involve

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
