Super good work life balance and flexibility. Great comp, or at least before stock plummeted.
Leadership doesn’t know what they’re doing. No investment in really anything. Big bet is really poorly built and kind of embarrassing. Not a sexy company or product anymore, but for some reason, leadership still expects you to sell it without any compelling reason for a customer to buy.
As title says, what is the best engineering team that has a good balance of promo and wlb? Not tryna full stack or product facing tho Will be coming in as senior #dropbox Tc: 150 and stocks #tech
Hey dbxers, wondering how IC2 to IC3 promo works? How hard is it? What is the general timeline? Any info appreciated :) thanks #dropbox TC 160k YOE 3.5
Square L6: ~500k Dropbox M4: ~450k Tier 2 location Both gave me the standard lines in terms of layoffs and promo timing. Both similar big data problems. Square/Block seems to be faster to the L7 promo. Dropbox/Square people what do you think? #engineering #software
How fast is Dropbox career growth? Are the promos as fast as FB or moreso like Google and the rest? Also are there specific teams that are preferred or more in demand at Dropbox (esp in terms of promo and career growth)? #engineering #software #swe #career #Dropbox
I'm a PM at Microsoft and just got an offer from Dropbox for PM. Thoughts on Dropbox as a company over Microsoft? Especially for PMs? The total comp at Dropbox is 10% higher, assuming RSUs are priced at $10/share (~6B valuation). Location is the same too, SF and SF. I'm up for promo in August acc...Read more
Hi all! I am up for a promo at Amazon from L5 to L6 next quarter. I also have offers from Google and Shopify. What are your thoughts? Amazon worth the wait (understanding a promo is not guaranteed)? L4 at Google is a bit of a low ball but might set me up for better success and quicker promo since I...Read more

I heard it from a friend who may be getting an offer soon. I told him that if Google low balls/down levels him, he should consider taking Dropbox IC2. Googlers, is the rumor true about a more relaxed PERF / Promo? How will that look for L3 -> L4 and L4 -> L5

I've been at Dropbox for a long time. The company is stagnant, but I am stilling growing my scope and level. Expected a promo in 6 months, so TC may grow to 600k+ soon. However, looking around the top offers on blind, I'll have to target E7/L7 to get more TC than 600k. It seems very unlikely given ...Read more
