I got an interview with Dropbox. Considering as they are full remote.
My question,
Compared to Amazon how is the work culture at dbx ?
Their stocks doesn’t seem very impressive, so what’s the long term growth ?
Is Dropbox a good company to have on resume ?
Considering recent layoff and a dying product what are the pros for the company long term ?

As a product, we still have 2nd highest number of storage users (just behind Google drive) and every quarter getting more users. Plus with new acquisitions have rapid increase now. It is definitely past its peak but still a tier 1 company and folks from G/FB are joining us every month (recently seeing more Amzn folks though) 😜
As an employer:
I joined from G, and I can 100% vouch for dbx as an employer. Top tier pay (500k+ TC at IC3 <$450k without stock appreciation>)
Apart from top tier pay, amazing talented n humble coworkers, great wlb (i mean like msft level wlb), good tech stack n tons of opportunities, unlimited pto bunch of company wide pto. I mean what the f**k do u need more. Plus for folks who want to work remote we have some of the best remote working benefits (u literally get $7000 a year to spend on anything that’ll help u work remotely)
Funny thing is, this post is written by someone in Amazon 🤣🤣🤣
I literally cannot think of a single thing that amazon has better than dbx (as an employer, not as product I love amazon product)
Are you deciding to join Dropbox based on DAUs?
Can't talk too much shit though I failed the online assessment
Wfh, wlb, tc, tech.
Not so great:
Future is unclear. Past it’s peak.
