Remote work. Good work-life balance. Decent benefits. That is the only reason I am still here.
CEO is terrible makes same mistakes over and over again. Revolving door of senior leaders. Failure to find a second act. Current bet product will not succeed due to poor leadership and execution.

Basically everyone is wfh unless the team is planning a big meeting. Less flexible than hybrid model because no one has a desk anymore. What about the free food perk? Will employees get a stipend for free meals? https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/company/dropbox-goes-virtual-first
Heard from a former employee that Layoffs are likely. Anyone heard something concrete? Timothy’s departure and hiring freeze would indicate something similar. I work at Dropbox but use an old handle TC: 375k #layoff #dropbox @dropbox
Whenever I see someone ask for a Dropbox referral, I see employees of the company telling people not to apply. What’s the reason for this? Also, does that apply to Dropbox internships (even if I’m not looking for a return offer)? #dropbox #swe #internships #product #pm #product management
