Choosing company based on growth
Which company (public or private) would you work at based on its stock growth? I know, you could choose cash and invest, but there’s the price lock in and vesting to think about. Also growth in terms of company/career growth. Has anyone actually done this and picked right/wrong? (Snap, Twitter, Dropbox, Box, Square)
I like Square even though Square recruiters didn’t even give me a chance to have a screening interview. I believe their future is very positive. Also Dropbox is very interesting. Since they launched Paper, the company is focusing on contents sharing instead of the storage service. My first insight of Paper is very impressive. It will take time until users understand what the advantages of content sharing via Dropbox Paper but I believe it will be really interesting thing.
Hmm. I agree with the market opportunity for square (though didn’t they have some execution problems?), but what is appealing about Dropbox? They aren’t very good at enterprise vs Box, and the collaborative docs space is crowded af (Quip, Airtable, Docs, Coda), although tying them together is a huge advantage/value prop.
I don’t think Paper is just focused on collaborative editing. It’s more on uniform contents sharing as they advertise.
Amazon and Microsoft are probably decent bets over the next few years.
