Pros

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.

Cons

There are still a lot of organizational growing pains -- Dropbox still hasn't quite figured out how to do the peer reviews well, the office is a little crowded, and so on. This is certainly all going to be resolved in time -- everyone here has good intentions.

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?
