Dropbox looks like a great place to work. They have competitive pay, great benefits, fully remote and more. I’m a little worried about the long term outlook. People who are at Dropbox / recently joined, what’s the company morale like? Also at what level do I need to interview to aim for a TC of about 550k? TC: 430k YoE: 9, L6 SDE. #tech
They seem to have great outlook because of the hellosign work they’re doing. That seems to be very important for the company
I think morale is pretty good right now
Great. Curious why?
Morale overall is pretty good for now. I think a lot depends on yearly reviews and refreshers in couple of months.
I just recently the hellosign org, I like it a lot so far! It’s chill, coworkers seem cool, and the culture feels more authentic than where I came from. Overall feels like a breath of fresh air. Maybe I’ll feel differently in a year
Where did you join from?
Although I hear a lot of good things and that they’re already no #2 after docusign
Love DBX’s work life balance and benefits - people much happier and morale much higher than when I was at FB (meta) a few months ago. And so glad to not be going through another PSC cycle…
My spouse feels the exact same way
I've been at Amazon and Microsoft before DBX, and morale here seems excellent. Way less complaining. And when people are upset about something, they seem to feel empowered to try to change company direction in a way you don't see at Amazon -- lots of direct feedback that got Amazon employee activists fired. 100% recommend making the switch. I'm so much happier here.
L5 for that level tc (tier 1 location ie Seattle, bay area etc)
Does Dropbox adjust pay based on location? I thought everything was fully remote.
Yes, there are three tiers of pay in the US
