Hey folks, what are your thoughts on Dropbox? I enjoyed the interview process (result pending). Interviewers seemed like great people and according to reviews WLB seems great. However, the company rating on blind is only 3.7. Any thoughts on Dropbox? If folks from Dropbox could pitch in, that'd be awesome. Thanks! TC: 260K YOE: 3 #dropbox

What is a Dropbox?
Lmao. Also I hate unblacklist requesting IP ranges to your company every month.
A nice word for the toilet.
Roblox growing like crazy … jump on that train … you can pass their interview if you passed Dropbox’s Beware of LinkedIn. It’s shit.
Why is LinkedIn shit?
Because it’s LinkedIn
What is their long term business plan to succeed? If you think they have strong competitive advantage that will persist then go for it
Stock is already up at 29
At dropbox for almost a year now. Love my work, love my team mates, love the perks (top-notch), great manager, amazing wlb (1055), unlimited PTO (in addition to all ptos from company), stock went up 35% since I joined. Learned tons of stuff in 10months. TC : 440k (excluding 60k joining cash) Yoe: 9 IC3 (TC based on $29 stock - intended was $403k) (Left FB, Msft, Twitter offers for this, no regrets so far)
Thanks for pitching in, glad to hear that you’re enjoying it! How’s the oncall situation at Dropbox? I’m sure it varies team by team, but how’s the overall experience for oncalls?
I came from Amazon AWS. And here I’m on a core dropbox team with external facing features. Oncall load is 10% of what I had at Amazon. Its good n bad, sometimes I feel people r too chilled out about issues, in Amazon it was way to serious. But i guess thats coz of scale
Gotta tag the company when you do these, friend. Dropbox is good pay, nice people, wfh. If you like wfh is probably a good choice. WLB is very good. Not sure what above poster was talking about, the are no perks. You get 1.75k of (very nearly no questions asked) reimbursements per quarter as an alternative to perks, and as you might imagine, it's pretty much just income with extra steps. The tech is not great, I would say it's on par with tech at companies several times dropboxs size in terms of tech debt and bizarre NIH stuff. The tools are quite bad. Between the tech debt and bad tools and the general ennui of wfh I'd say everyone gets about 3-4 days of work done per sprint. Ultimately it's going to come down to how important money is and how much you want to wfh. If your answers are "very" and "always", I don't think you can do better then dropbox.
Haha it depends what u had before!! Coming from Amazon it feels like heaven, I don’t mind wfh and benefits are still as good as G/FB even if you want all those free lunch n coffee In office might have been great but I would definitely take this wlb, people n benefits !! Oh n the pay!
It doesn't seem to be a company with much upside... At least that's my perspective
