Why the Dropbox hate?
Whenever I see someone ask for a Dropbox referral, I see employees of the company telling people not to apply. What’s the reason for this? Also, does that apply to Dropbox internships (even if I’m not looking for a return offer)? #dropbox #swe #internships #product #pm #product management
That does sound like gatekeeping honestly
Dropbox was once a nice place to work but in the last 2-3 years it's become a nightmare for many of us. We don't want you to get fooled by the history of the place or the inflated Glassdoor reviews. One of my coworkers even said that he preferred working for Amazon. Anyway yeah it's fine for internships, hell even for IC1 it's not bad.
“It’s gotten worse the last 2-3 years” I’ve seen statement made so many times since I joined in 2017 that it would make your head spin. It’s gotten so much worse in the same degree that everything, everywhere, has gotten worse in the last 3 years. There are far, far worse places to be.
It has gotten worse, but I think I'd still rather be here than most other tech
I’m honestly pretty content here. Good compensation/benefits despite the cuts here and there plus smart and supportive coworkers are more than I can ask for in this economy 🤠 I do feel affected by the constant fear of layoffs on Blind but I think that might be every company?
They have it so good they don't want anyone finding out
Haha! Are they actually gatekeeping?
Lol please come find out what’s it’s like for yourself. People with +400K TC leaving in less than a year. If that’s not a red flag idk what is.
