Dropbox desperate for talent?

Got an offer from them couple of months ago but decided to reject and go to a different company (not Amazon). Recently got an email from Dropbox recruiter asking if I want to explore opportunities with them. Dropbox guys, is it normal? Are you trying to hire a lot nowadays? #dropbox #hiring

I see their job postings so often. They seem to only want seniors, cause they hate me 😂

Could ask if they'd improve the offers TC

Just curious, does Dropbox allow remote work from another state?

Microsoft maple00 Jul 28, 2021

Recently applied to dropbox blindly on their careers site and I got contacted by a recruiter the day after. I applied two years ago the same way and got totally ignored. I think Dbx is definitely going on a hiring spree since they see the writing on the wall and need to start expanding their product offering outside of cloud storage. Their on-site was pretty brutal compared to Amazon/Msft. Got two LC hards and a pretty involved system design question. The other two rounds were kinda cookie-cutter (deep-dive and behavioural). I think I barely scraped by HC. So I wouldn't say they've lowered their hiring bar. Or maybe I'm just biased since I've accepted their offer. :) Msft TC: 200k L62 New Dbx TC: 275k IC2 Yoe: 4.5

Is there a good outlook for Dropbox ? Their stock doesn’t seem to do well

IBM wfhnopants Jul 29, 2021

Stock is up over 50% in the last year

Look at the larger picture

We are definitely conducting a lot more interviews and there are a lot of recs to fill, expanding and attrition due to remote first. That said, I have not seen any signs of lower bar. It is still one of the most difficult interviews to crack. Earlier: 2 out of 50 used to clear it Now: 10 out of 500 clear it This is pretty common in any expanding companies. Regarding stocks: it is 40% up this year n prospects look good. I mean we won’t go 2x 3x soon but stable increase. My joining stocks are 45% up in last 10months. So happy happy 😀

what are somethings you like the most about working at DB?

Microsoft maple00 Jul 30, 2021

Agreed. My virtual onsite was f'ing brutal lol. I did well enough to get a hire decision from HC but I think just barely.

Microsoft rqpd71a Aug 26, 2021

Does anyone here know if recruiters call regardless of whether you failed or not? Have a call with my recruiter today regarding my on-site.

Microsoft Princip Jan 26, 2022

Did you get an offer? How long after onsite did it take?
