Dropbox informed me: 1) My target bonus will increase to 12.5% from 10%. 2) There will be no 1 year cliff. My stocks will be vested quarterly after I join. Dropbox IC2 offer (Seattle): Base: 185k RSUs: 300k Signon: 30k Target bonus: 23k 1st year TC: 313k average TC without refresh: 290K (could easily go above 300k with refresh) Not sure about refresh. I heard refresh is also going to increase. Can any dropboxer comment? Current TC 220k. 3 yoe. Recently promoted to L5 @ Amazon, and got 🥜 (only base increase and no new stock). Work 55+ hours per week. Some Dropbox vs. Amazon comparisons: 1) Dropbox reimburse 7k for almost anything (including food delivery and grocery) yearly. Amazon gives banana 🍌. 2) Dropbox matches 100% 6k for 401k. Amazon matches 50% of 3% of base (around 3k due to base cap). 3) Dropbox goes virtual first, and no commute. Most orgs @ Amazon won't allow 100% remote. 4) Dropbox has decent refresh. Amazon just keeps your tc "above" the minimum of the pay band. 5) Personally I don't have much faith in Dropbox's future. However, they have good engineering culture, and I heard they treat employees well. Amazon might have a bright future, but they don't treat their employees well. Dropbox will definitely be around for years, and I'll see where I will go next. I just want to jump the ship.
Go with Dropbox , congrats
Thank you!
Congrats on Dropbox, sounds like a nice company that cares about their employees
Is the increased benefits from Dropbox or dive and save from amazon. It wasn’t clear in your post
Sorry. It is from Dropbox. Edited the post.
Then it’s great Dropbox I have heard is def chill.. there is absolutely no pro for you at amazon
Congrats!!! Amazon is toxic. So glad that I don’t work there anymore.
And I got a mere 2 percent raise last year from all the good work I’ve done. Here Dropbox is giving out 2.5 for nothing. What a joke. I think Dropbox is doing just fine. Blind just loves to hate on smaller companies. Base on blind logic, no company beside faang and Microsoft can thrive. Congrats on the offer OP
nice feedback thanks op
My friend, as someone who moved to Dropbox n has worked at Amazon for multiple years….. there is NOT A SINGLE thing that u’ll miss from Amazon. I love it here so much that I don’t even miss my G life. Great friendly team n culture who really care about ur well being. Top tier pay. Engg talent is awesome.
Congrats op, how many LC did you do to prepare

Never take dive n save. They will grill u harder and likely the target once they find ur backfill.
No I won't. I am desperate to get out. This place is pure evil.
