Pros: I've been in the role of a Senior Software Engineer at Dropbox for almost a year, and it's been a very positive experience. What I like the most is the culture. The team I joined is supportive, collaborative, and there's an authentic sense of camaraderie. One of the highlights of my role here is the freedom to choose how I approach and solve problems. If you're proactive and enjoy taking the initiative, you'll find this workplace highly enjoyable. The company also has good benefits, including: * A generous perk allowance * Stock in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

Cons: One of the downsides is having to join meetings set in the US timezone.

Pros: I've been working in this company for over 6 years, being the company I've worked for the longest in my career. The main reason why I'm still here is a mix of the amazing, smart professionals that I've run into across these years, as well as (even more important to me) the tireless will to help that's carved in each and all of them. They're always ready to drop what they're doing to jump and help you get unblocked and going. That sense of "we, not I" is contagious and, as time goes by, I've been able to put it in practice myself, inspired by what others did for me before. This builds up a "community feeling" where one can feel really comfortable working every day. I just love it.

Cons: Decision-making and risk-taking still have some way to go. Sometimes, we're slightly overwhelmed by the "fear to fail".

Pros: Top-tier pay. Left offers from Facebook and Apple since DBX gave a better offer. Dropbox was able to beat my Microsoft pay by almost 100% (same level). CULTURE CULTURE CULTURE. The biggest selling point of Dropbox is super friendly coworkers and teammates. I have not met a single rude person in my last year, and I mean not even raised voice rude. Everyone is very helpful and tries to help as much as possible. Work-Life Balance. I really don't understand how a company can pay so well and still provide such great work-life balance. Sprints are very well planned, and there are no weird questions about why something will take 2 days instead of 1. Because of this, everyone is very honest. There's an ample amount of company-sponsored PTOs, plus we have unlimited PTOs, and people do take 30-35 days of PTO per year. Impact of Work. Given this is a pretty small company, you actually get to work on stuff that can have a great impact. People who want to deliver faster and move ahead are rewarded well. The company really cares about impact delivered and rewards well for it with good bonus cash and stocks. The new higher management seems more aggressive, and that's what we need at Dropbox. There is enough potential but no push, which is changing for good reasons now.

Cons: People avoid hot/uncomfortable discussions. It is really important to talk about metrics, failures, and whether things are working or not. I see a lack of retrospectives, and some people are just too chill and in rest-and-vest mode. The stock price didn't move for a long time after the IPO but recently started catching up (60% up since last year), so we have to wait and watch.
