Today I heard that Dropbox let go of its QA department last month. Is this true? What is happening over there?
Don’t need testing if you are not gonna have any users very soon
They are testing no qa department.
No QA, no bugs.
Probably manual testers. They have a lot of those. They can just hire remote people for less pay in india
Not really, they were restructured and remaining QA were embedded into product teams rather than being a separate group on their own
Not true, the DWG org fired 16 of its 20 QA engineers with only 2 of the 4 now being dedicated to a product team
Oof
Ah. So no separate QA teams - embedded in products instead. That makes a lot more sense. No testing folks at all just sounds wrong. I understand that it was like a 90%+ cut though so maybe for some products the whole dept is basically gone. That is pretty tough…

Is it racist to support “law and order”?
Probably part of 500 layoff announced two weeks ago? Anyway lot of enterprises have multiple file hosting services (one drive and Dropbox) but they finally starting to look at their budgets and cutting back on redundant services. Most often Dropbox will get the short end of the stick.
