About to start the interview loop with Dropbox. Would really appreciate it if anybody from Dropbox can shed some light?

1. How's the morale in the company now?
2. WLB? Heard it's really good what's the average hour per week?
3. Career growth. How hard to get to staff? Average year from senior to staff?
4. Does Dropbox pay by location? If yes what's the TC for MCOL city (e.g. Austin)
5. How hard is the interview for senior

Thank you!

    Ex-G here. Joined a year back in Seattle at $430k TC IC3 (L5 at G $330k TC)
    9 yoe

    Love it here so far and already on track for promo to IC4 in 6 months.

    Great work (Core Dropbox)
    Amazing team mates
    WLB pretty similar to G (maybe even better)
    Career Growth -> coming from G any place is going to be faster ๐Ÿคฃ

    Only Con:
    Stock performance avg. specially given last years G stocks. But pay here is definitely higher than G (target pay)

    Left 2 weeks ago. Great wlb. Good money. No career growth. Dead company and a sinking ship in my opinion. Great place to rest and vest. Avoid otherwise.

    1. Think itโ€™s generally good. Iโ€™m happy.
    2. Team/org dependent; eg I think wlb is better in core than growth, anecdotally
    3. Not sure but Iโ€™ve heard career growth is pretty slow here.
    4. Yes pay by location, Austin is tier-2 whereas tier-1 is like 100mi of Seattle, NYC or SF. Outside the same radius of Austin metro in Texas is tier-3.
    5. Interview isnโ€™t terribly hard, but it will throw LC grinders for a loop

    Base in Austin will be 10% less than same role in SF. Generally a good place to work. Good WLB.
