Pros: - Super smart engineers - Great product design team - Fantastic perks and location - The founders are down-to-earth and relatable

Cons: There is an ever-prevalent sense of entitlement throughout the engineering org. Lack of basic social skills; people don't believe in greeting others in hallways. Inexperienced and egoistic managers have caused a lot of damage and attrition in the past year. If you are a person of color, you may not exist for the rest of them for a long time (I am not a person of color, but I noticed the bias against my colored co-workers). There still exists a "boys club." Career growth and mentorship is limited. Don't work at Dropbox if you are a Product Manager or want to become one in the near future. The attrition rate in the PM org is huge, and the lack of mentorship is appalling. Lots of unhappy PMs.

Pros: Working with really sharp engineers is great. I don't have to worry about other people following through. I can trust that feedback is thoughtful and on point. Fantastic perks, great company values that people seem to take to heart.

Cons: It can be intimidating to start. The interview process is hard, and we hold ourselves to a high standard. I had some imposter syndrome at the outset.

Pros: The company has evolved a lot over the years, and I think it's in a really great place right now. I'm happy whenever I'm working on interesting projects with people I respect. I think I got really lucky in that regard by coming to Dropbox. This is still a place for engineers with energy and drive to do great things. The size of our infrastructure and technical challenges is much higher than people expect. I could be working on infra for basically any company in the world right now, but I feel like I have the highest leverage and direct impact at Dropbox than at any alternative.

Cons: It's still a growing company, and we need to keep scaling the organization. How well will we handle having remote offices, or more of an org chart, or scaling communications as the company gets big? No real problems right now, but it's still a work in progress. (This is something I enjoy, by the way.)
