    Approves of CEO

    I have been working at Dropbox full-time (More than a year)

    Pros

    All engineers here are extremely smart, but what makes Dropbox stand out is the sense of shared ownership and willingness to push the boundaries. I'm also blown away by the caliber of employees outside engineering too, from the legal team, to recruiting, to the Tuck Shop. Employees tend to be direct and vocal about giving constructive criticism, which is a refreshing break from the sugar coated Silicon Valley culture… Show More

    Cons

    Some of the big bets didn't pan out, which is sad as they were very innovative. This could be demoralizing to some employees. The company has changed its direction in the last few years, with a few rocky transitions. Some technical debt can come as a shock to new grads or Xooglers, but it's nothing eng org doesn't intend to fix.

    Advice to Management

    Keep doing what you're doing. I love our VPs. But focus on articulating company goals and build camaraderie.
