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.
Fix management issues, and you will attract long-term, experienced employees. Engineers have many options in Silicon Valley; nobody wants to work for jerks!
The interview process was a coding assessment and a phone screen. The coding assessment was a design question consisting of four parts. It increased in difficulty and involved designing a system to do a certain task.
Phone interview: The question was to find all duplicate files in a file system. Follow-up questions included: * What if files are large? * What if files are small? The interviewer was kind of indifferent.
After the resume screen, the second stage was a coding interview. I was asked one question related to recursion, specifically to find a duplicate file in a filesystem. This was conducted in a browser-based text editor.
