Good place to work
Dropbox is one of the few companies of its size that seem to genuinely care about employee wellness. Work/life balance is good, PTO is unlimited, and compensation is fair. They are careful to avoid over-hiring to reduce the chances of future layoffs. Virtual First means you can work from anywhere.
