Got offer in a good team. Want to think long term and plan to find a company where I can stay a few years. My concerns are:
1) Company future (which may not offer a long term career prospect).
2) Potentially stagnant/falling stock value (which may be financially harmful).
I am sure other Dropboxers had this concerns. What made you choose Dropbox?

If tweaking and refining are areas of interest then please join. If you’re interested in pushing the envelope and trying new things, then keep looking.
Dropbox isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Read that as a sign of stability as well as an indictment of mediocrity.
There’s stability here in that we aren’t over reaching by hiring excessively, nor are we in a time of laying off. Our numbers are strong and while Wall Street doesn’t see us as a great investment we don’t tend to swing too wildly. Sure, 18-24 a share isn’t “amazing” but I plan on being here 4+ years to get my full grant and refreshers. If the stock price remains the same of what my initial grant value is then I have lost nothing.
Hitting the jackpot and having stock appreciate wasn’t on my list of things I considered. I’m realistic with a family and just want to have a stable income to provide and live within my means.
