Dropbox CTO Quentin Clark shares his thoughts and reflects on his career, the New Dropbox, and the future of what work looks like for our users.
“One of the biggest reasons I joined Dropbox was how much the company’s mission resonated with me. Our CEO, Drew Houston, and I spent a lot of time talking about what was going on in the industry, and how Dropbox could really step-up and, to use our stated mission, design a more enlightened way of working.” Read the full story in Quentin’s own words here: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMixv #LifeInsideDropbox

I have been working at Dropbox full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
I love working with Dropbox. It's the first place I have worked where I truly have the autonomy to make decision that I think will make an impact. I get to work alongside some of the industries brightest minds and I am learning a ton. The office is out of this world, with a dedicated office team that go above and beyond and really "sweat the details". I am so glad I look the leap of faith to join the team as I am gaining the best experience possible in my field.
Cons
Working in tech it's par for the course that things change rapidly and it's the same at Dropbox ,however, great learnings can come from change and it's a crucial skill to be adaptable.
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dropbox (Dublin, Co. Dublin) in November 2018.
Interview
I was reached out to by a recruiter. We had a chat about the role and my experience which then lead to the organisation of a phone interview. I had made sure to do a lot of prep on my past experience and on Dropbox itself so the phone interview went well and I was able to give relevant examples and answers to the questions, due to this I was successful in getting an onsite interview.
The onsite interview was a great change of pace from the usual interview circuit. I was picked up at reception and given a tour of the Dublin office (beautiful btw) and shown to the room. The interview process then consisted of five interviews, 30 minutes each over 2 1/2 hours back to back.
The interview process was intense as you are speaking for 2 1/2 hours straight but enjoyable as each interviewer asks questions about different aspects of your experience, the company and the role. A nice touch was that I was interviewed by people on the team that I would be directly working with. Everyone was very nice during the process and I felt it went quite well as I was able to build a rapport with many of the interviewers.
After the onsite interviews I was reached out to the next week and extended an offer. Overall I had a very pleasant experience.
