Anyone have experience on the Dropbox mobile team or seattle? Is management giving you resources to get shit done? Do you feel like you can be successful in your role? How good/bad is the promo process? How is work-life balance? How is the tech stack and toolchain? How is working with the PMs and Designers? Do you get a say in what you work on? Does management at the company care about what you work on? Hows the insurance? 401K match? TC expectations at IC2? TC at msft: 186k L61 (132/40/14) edit: DB offer TC 255 (168/67.5/16.8) plus 20k signing #wlb #dropbox

It’s a good team that’s growing. You’ll likely be joining as IC2 though.
Insurance is great. 401k is a 6k yearly match, 1.5k per quarter, vested immediately. WLB is great. Seattle food sucks at the moment, but the new office (later this year) will have a tuck shop.

Whenever I visit Seattle the work life balance seems great. Don't know about TC - and I didn't even know we got signing here! Nice! The mobile feature folks seem very happy in general, retention has been much better there than other groups, and some of their pulse scores are infuriatingly high. Mobile has been spread a little thin, but it's getting much MUCH better since they seem to be hiring like wildfire and they have air cover to focus on technical debt. Tech stack is steadily improving, but toolchain needs some love - but is being worked on. Mobile PMs and Designers seem super chill, but there aren't enough of them. Most mobile teams seem to definitely have a say in what they are working on, there isn't a ton of top down direction. Even if a feature is handed down, the engineers absolutely have a say in changing the design and scope and improving it from what I've seen. Seattle office is very relaxed, nice people, good work life balance. The view is fantastic.
I agree with this sentiment. Seattle is awesome and the mobile team is very collaborative!
If you're Android, you should consider Airbnb. You'd get a big TC bump. https://careers.airbnb.com/positions/1836183/
iOS, sorry taco. :’(
SF has openings if you're willing to move. Otherwise good luck
