Pros

Excellent perks (best corporate food there is, great benefits, wellness reimbursement, you name it). Dynamic and fastly growing environment

Cons

There is an emphasis to hire what they call "Dropboxy" people. "Dropboxy" might as well be a proxy for entitled, youthful, conceited, and inexperienced. The general lack of experience and professionalism at the company is appalling and the scalability of the current business model is not really there. They have some severe issues with diversity as it relates to diversity of opinion or interests. Basically if you aren't a Brogrammer, you will not like it. Most amount of crazy politics I have ever experienced in a job.

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?
