With Virtual First we’re always seeking ways to break down any barriers between our teams—even if they’re as wide as continents. Watch Guppy in the Bay Area, California and Caroline in Dublin, Ireland chat about the importance of wellness and family during Virtual First.
Hack Week is one of the most exciting times of the year at Dropbox, and an ambitious crew of first-timers jumped right into the creative innovation. Read their Hack Week stories in a new blog post!
When we announced Virtual First, we hoped that Dropboxers would really take advantage of the ability to work from almost anywhere to improve their life-work balance. And maybe no one has done that as beautifully as Amado, who relocated his family to Spain for the summer, and keeps pool breaks scheduled on his calendar. Read his story to find out how it was all possible!
Moving a previously office-centric culture into a newly Virtual First world is no easy task. And to do it correctly, we knew we needed the voices and perspectives of Dropboxers around the world—which is why we created Vibe Committees, employee-led groups of Dropboxers who work to build community, cultivate meaningful human connections, and foster engagement in their region. Read the new blog post for an inside look at some of their activities! #LifeInsideDropbox #Virtual First
Have you heard about our IGNITE Engineering Apprenticeship Program? Now in its third year, this program is specifically designed to give hands-on work experience and mentorship to new software engineers from non-traditional CS backgrounds. Meet the 2021 class in a new blog post!
For five years in a row, we’ve promoted women at a higher rate than men at Dropbox—and we’re not stopping there! Fairygodboss spotlighted the other ways we’re supporting women in all aspects of their professional and personal lives in a new article.
Days packed with meetings and no time to actually get work done? At Dropbox, we draw a bold line between work that necessitates a meeting and work that can be tackled through other means, like email or internal collaboration tools. Learn how we’re implementing “async by default” in a new blog post! #LifeInsideDropbox #VirtualFirst
At Dropbox, we care deeply about social impact, and we take our responsibility to give back to the places we live and work seriously. So many of our Dropboxers play a service role in their communities that this year, we decided to give out our first-ever Big Heart Award! This award (given out to two winners, twice a year) will recognize Dropboxers who exemplify our value of “Make Work Human” by being outstanding members of their communities, driving active engagement, and volunteering to support causes close to their hearts. #LifeInsideDropbox #service
We’ve all been on the receiving end of a too-long email or jargon-packed strategy doc. As our team moves into #VirtualFirst, we’re aware that these things can be a blocker to success and satisfaction at work. To help guide Dropboxers in simple writing for #remotework, we’ve developed a 25-minute exercise to help make emails, docs, and presentations clear and reader-friendly. Check it out and see how you can build better writing habits. #LifeInsideDropbox
