Process
Very swift response.
I met Dropbox representatives at a university college fair. I dropped off my resume and received an invitation for the first screening test three days later. Then, I was notified about the second screening on campus the following day.
The people I interacted with were very nice and helpful. However, since I was not a Computer Science major, the problems seemed tough.
Although I did not receive an offer, I still love this company.

Dropbox Work Experiences
- 5.0Awesome remote company!Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesOctober 19, 2021Pros: - Remote, so can work from pretty much anywhere. - Awesome work-life balance and flexible hours. - Interesting roadmap and new products. - Smart, kind, and collaborative coworkers. Not like other places I’ve been where people compete against each other. We have a common goal we’re trying to reach. - High pay. - Nice benefits (like a $7000 yearly perks allowance that you can use on pretty much anything – gym, home office, groceries, restaurants, etc.). - Employee-first mindset.Cons: Entirely remote, so if you don't like that, you probably won't like Dropbox. Personally, I was hesitant at first but love it now, but I know some people prefer hybrid. The company seems to have slowed down a bit with some upper management churn. They seem to have a clear, multi-product vision we're working towards, but only time will tell.
