Negociating an IC3 offer, what’s the morale at Dropbox right now? Are still ppl from G/F joining recently? Heard bad things, like lots of good engineers jump ship recently. TC: 330K
Not sure what u mean with “the trend” but we just moved into a brand new office, the place is beautiful. Just came out with a new product called the new dropbox that focuses on the enterprise customer. Some engineers have left but we have replaced them with other great engineers. The old leave and opportunities are opened for others.
So, overall is still positive?
The trend is that the stock has fallen off a fucking cliff since IPO.
Op what's your new TC offered from Dropbox? Keep in mind that stock refresher here is worse than FB. And if you are already at 330, I doubt IC3 offer can be a lot better than what you already have.
whats the stock refresher for IC5?
I thought the refresher is 120k for IC3?
Lol the product is dead, completely useless
I logged in to my Dropbox this morning, and it worked as normal. How do you explain that?
Yeah my Yahoo email works fine too.
I would love to work for DBX. It’s just the stagnant stock price and the potential future ramifications of that which make me skeptical
What’s your current level
good
Can you refer me to drop box?
Stay away, bro. Don't want to sound too negative, but Dbx isn't place to be right now. Product isn't exciting and everyone know that, stock going down, etc.
How about infra teams?
Ok, but leadership is focusing on product side and infra will be forced to prove that their work is beneficial for product - no more fun side projects.
Does dropbox discriminate against applications from candidates from non faang companies?
Dropbox discriminates based on Liberal ideas. If you tick any of the "diversity" groups (woman, brown, black) you can get in easily.
Sounds like a good place to work!
Joined from Google a while back. Regret it. The sub comment is correct. Many from Microsoft, much fewer from Google. Facebook is bleeding engineers like crazy so if you have burned out at FB maybe worthwhile to consider. If you’re from Google, stay fucking put. You won’t be able stand a sinking ship run by morons who are misleveled, lucky MIT undergrads who are on the in, and middle managers from low tier companies (Cisco, etc.) and sinking stock price. Top management is clueless on strategy (they traded one clown who was the CTO for another General Manager who is full of shit recently). Morale is bad. Common sense is uncommon in technical discussions.
This 100%
I did have a weird interview experience there few years ago. My interviewer was either autistic or the biggest jerk ever. Then I looked him up and saw he was a MIT grad who graduated at age 16 or so.
90% of our engineers are coming from google, Facebook and Microsoft. The bar has not been lowered
Thanks for sharing! What’s the recent trend?
90% of them are from microsoft and 10% laid offs from fb/google
