Have a job offer from Dropbox (IC2, SWE), and am thinking of taking it.. any opinions on job safety, likelihood of layoffs? AFAIK, they're just around cash flow neutral to positive Yoe : 4 masters in CS On H1B, Bay Area, Current TC ~200k New TC 160 base 250 / 4 stocks 25 joining
No free advice, TC?
Current TC already on, new TC added.. what's the advice? :D
Is there a cash bonus for Dropbox?
Doesn't look a lot of hike. Are you planning to take it for the sake of working for Dropbox?
Yeah, want to move on from Amazon
In that case, sure. But I think if can get in to Dropbox, you could try some other high paying companies out there. It's annoying to keep moving, so might as well make it worth it
My friend got hired on by them and they fired him after 3 months.
He must have been working for Fei.
Who is Fei?
I wouldn’t worry too much about layoffs since the company has been doing pretty well (you can check out our last financial reporting). If you don’t perform or meet expectations then anything is possible. Overall, it’s a great place to work and you’ll definitely learn a lot. PM if you have any specific questions about Dropbox or the team you’ll be joining.
I can affirm that as well. Great place to work. Good comp and great wlb. I would not worry about layoffs at all if you are in eng/product/design.
Can confirm. WLB is great. My evidence is that when I ask people for help, they drop what they’re doing to help/explain stuff to me, at the expense of their own time. Very friendly culture.
Offer TC breakdown and YOE?
Done
