Pros

Great Food. Beautiful offices. Decent Pay. Top Notch Benefits. Good work life balance. Opportunity to make an impact.

Cons

1. Lack of diversity (specifically black and latinx). 2. Terrible middle management. Long time Dropbox employees promoted to senior leadership without much experience outside of the company. 3. Found the culture to be extremely clickish and non inclusive. I left because of bad bosses. My work was regularly sabotaged even though boss knew it was the best thing for the company. I sought advice from my recruiter and situation only got worse. Really wish things would have been different. Met a couple of really nice people. But overall, did not feel very welcomed.

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?
