Expecting an offer from Dropbox soon, thoughts from Dropbox folks on the company and culture? The people I spoke with during the interviews, seemed genuinely humble and passionate; very interested in the company and more importantly the problems I'll be solving.
It’s a very good place to work , heard from my friend over there. But I really dunno what else on their plate right. Paper and more integration into more platforms? Btw, how was the interview? Leetcode? Medium-hard?
Mostly leetcode, I'd say the interview was difficult. Yes they talked a lot about paper.
Leetcode medium, architecture review deepdive, systems design & culture fit
Congrats I’m joining soon and pretty stoked as well. Everyone I talked to are smart and most importantly they really like the culture DB created. They’re doing ofc more than file sync.
What's ofc?
I just joined. Really smart engineers, good culture, and incredibly transparent. Their culture is one of the big reasons why I joined.
What about the culture?
Top 3 characteristics of it that made you join.
Dropbox? Seriously why? I'm sure there are great people there and if you have not done large scale stuff you might even learn a thing or two. But as a company I'm not sure they have a big exit or anything. Cloud Storage is a race to zero and I'd be interested in hearing how they will survive 5 years from now.
You could say the same thing about a lot of companies. They are doing about a billion in revenue and growing at about 10 million more users a month, making some inroads into Enterprise, working on document collaboration. I think they'll be around for at least 5 more years.
Yeah! Seems pretty cool spin - collaboration, doing their own cloud to save money
The culture is one of the reasons I really like working at Dropbox. We have company values that we strive to actually uphold, they're not just corporate platitudes. For example, one of them is Be Worthy of Trust and it's something we apply both to how we work with each other and how we build the product. The biggest downside of this thoughtful culture is the communication and rigorousness overhead it can create.
pls acquire us
What team are you in? I heard culture there varies from team to team. What do you think the teams to stay away from? Currently talking to them as well.
You should apply at Box and mention that you are in the pipeline for a gig at Dropbox. At the very least get a competitive offer for negotiation purposes. At the most, you'll find out what the Box culture is like an you'll like us better. Also, we're in Redwood City and Dropbox is in SF.
Don't leave Google for that shit hole. That would be a mistake.
Uhhhh you do realize this post is almost a year and a half old. How did you even find out in the first place?
It's a shitty place. Made a mistake going there myself.

Do you believe that India is slowly moving towards Dictatorship?
It is file syncing 😴 how much rsu?
It's rsu syncing
It is a gui around rsync?
