Heard all mixed feedback/opinions about these two companies: 1. Both of these two allow remote and have decent wlb. 2. Brand prestige are about the same. 3. Neither stock performs well (by far) and neither of them has a very clear future. So wondering, considering the same TC, which one do you think is a better place to work at?

TC and offer details please
No offer from either yet. Interviewing with both. Just seeing people commonly put these two together for referrals / comparisons. Wondering what people would choose between these two.
Cool thanks. Historically I'd have said Twitter. I just don't know how Dropbox will continue growing with so much competition. But Twitter hasn't had any good execution itself and new CEO doesn't really inspire too much confidence yet. But otherwise I've heard both companies to have good wlb, good tech and talent and good perks. Perhaps it makes sense to talk about all this after you get offer(s)? Like if you get an offer from only one of them, the comparison is kind of moot?
Twitter is fine, people just like to complain no matter the company. Pay isn't top of market, though, so getting harder to hire and retain folks.
we pay more than twitter?
Yes, by quite a bit up until just the last few months where Twitter is forced to compete. I think new hire offers are getting close to be even, but lifetime comp at Dropbox would be higher given how Twitter makes promotion super hard, often cuts on bonus, does not pay retention grants after 4 year cliff, and basically just gives COLA raises even for high performers. Dropbox also has a much more pleasant tech stack to work with and Python in production is embraced and supported, rather than constantly ridiculed by a bunch of Scala die-hards.
@twitter 125k annual refresh is not little at all for any company… and any major company can have 4 year cliff issue
I think get offers from both and talk to some HMs and see what team interests you most. That’s what I did, HM at DBX really won me over. Haven’t been at Twitter but my feeling when interviewing was the companies were basically the same from an employee perspective, so the team itself probably matters more.
Dbx wlb seems highly dependent on the team and org. I joined from amazon about 6-7 months ago and my wlb is much much worse here than at amazon
Neither!
Lol how’s life at twitter bro?
