Any perspectives on working at either company? Dropbox seems to have better benefits and maybe WLB, but Twilio also seems to have good WLB and their stock is stronger. Dropbox 370 TC Twilio 340 TC Current 230 TC 5 YOE #dropbox #twilio Thanks @dripbox for suggesting the poll EDIT: I went for dbx
When was your twilio onsite ? Is it l4?
Yeah it was about 2 weeks ago
340 is on par. You cloud ask more. And how long it took for them to get back.
Twilio was super fast. Onsite was on like Monday and they got back to me by Wednesday
Is this for software developer role?
Yeah
100% vote for Dropbox. Happier here more than Google and Twitter
It’s an easy choice
I'd go for Dripbox even if TCs were reversed. Even though they seem like they are bleeding total users, they have a decent hiring bar and good pay/WLB.
@blockbustr I might get offer from Dropbox - potentially a IC4. But at the same time I have calls from "block". I don't like python. Do you think Square can match Dropbox TC. Also square has a office in RI which is near to where i stay and i like working from office
Is it IC2 or IC3?
Stock wise twilio is definitely not that much stronger if not significantly weaker. Its balance sheet is horrendous at first glance. I don’t know what the reason behind it is, but they manage to have worse margin as time goes on. On top of that, growing debt compared to asset and decreasing cash flow. At this rate and trajectory, it literally means their revenue growth is proportionally to how fast they can pile up debt and go bust. Very very high risk imo. Never buy into popular opinions without looking at a company’s balance sheet
Dropbox here. We have great WLB. The stock is a constant worry, but I suspect that it's done most of the falling that it was going to do. There was some irrational exuberance at the start of covid WFH, and the stock got overvalued and corrected. It's probably more stable now. Twilio also allegedly great WLB, but that's twice removed hearsay.
