* Company really cares about impact delivered and rewards well for it with good bonus cash and stocks people who want to deliver faster and move ahead are rewarded well. * Given this is a pretty small company, you actually get to work on stuff which can have great impact. * ample amount of company sponsored PTOs plus we have unlimited PTOs and people do take 30~35 days of PTO per year. Sprints are very well planned and no weird questions about why will it take 2 days instead of 1 and because of this everyone is very honest. * I really don't understand how a company can pay so well and still provide such great work life balance. * very helpful everyone tries to help as much as possible I have not met a single rude person in my last 1 year and I mean not even raised voice rude. * the biggest selling point of Dropbox is super friendly coworkers and team mates. * Dropbox was able to beat my Microsoft pay by almost 100% raise (same level) * left offers from Facebook and Apple since DBX gave better offer Also, you get 7k yearly stipend that you can spend on anything for your wellbeing, e.g. In fact, I just attended a workshop to teach IC what is like to be a manager last week. I like how intentionally they are building a virtual community that focuses on personal growth. Personal growth and wellbeing: they host a lot of workshops, events, meeting sessions, where you are encourage to join and learn about different things (mental health, tech, design, etc) and meet with other folks in different team and department (coffee chat).

Transparency: you receive emails about all its progresses in product, tech, design, business, etc - perfect opportunity for someone like myself who is interested not just in engineering and tech but also other aspects like business and design. What surprises me once I start here is its focus on transparency, personal growth and wellbeing.

I chose Dropbox initially because of its good reputation in tech for engineers (python's founder was once here for ~5 years, you can still see his commits in the codebase), its above average competitive salary (TC ~250k-270k+), its virtual first approach (flexible work from home by default), and its mission (focus on community and collaborative tool).
