Dropbox Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

All remote, accommodating with different time zones, personal needs, etc

There are always opportunities to take on ownership of new areas, and since the company is growing, people are glad for the chance to share the load, rather than territorial and defensive of "their" space.

Review from Engineering Dept

The food is amazing

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Launch a discovery by third party firm to really hear employees pain points in the trenches rather than a few mgt who are out of touch and can not accurately represent their teams

There needs to be more accountability to keep middle managers productive, instead of making them messengers of tops down mandates. There are several extremely problematic managers that are going unchecked.

Tackle rampant sexism and stop treating people like they're just their sale target

Mix up experience levels and stop bringing in so many overpaid outsiders who talk a good game but don’t do any real work. Still not large enough nor have the systems to effectively get all the day to day work done

work life balance, workload balance amongst the team, some people work 9-5, some people work more than 9-9, train middle managers to be better, hire PEOPLE managers who will care about their teams, less politics
