Pros

- Most ICs at Dropbox are smart and friendly - Good pay & benefits overall

Cons

- Leadership lacks reflection and transparency, is out of touch with engineers - Toxic positivity culture (not everyone, but it is a theme with some engineers and leaders) - No real culture due to remote work (not a dig at Dropbox, to be expected for any remote company)

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?
