"We are explicitly not hybrid. We think this is the worst of all worlds, where employees suffer through long commutes only to sit on Zoom because most of our colleagues are distributed. We really believed in this creation of an even playing field. The rules of that are, largely, individual work is done remotely by everyone, but we still come together in person at least quarterly for strategy setting, connection, team building and bonding."
"The pandemic tested our assumption that we have to be in person in order to be productive. Allowing employees to work from anywhere helps Dropbox retain talent. Over time, the company refined scheduling practices, meeting protocols and employee well-being programs to better meet the needs of its distributed workforce."
"It's especially important to us to maintain this posture as so many other companies across many, many industries are mandating return to office. Dropbox has no plans to return its workers to offices. After adopting a virtual-first staffing model in 2020, the San Francisco technology company met all of its financial goals and remains committed to making remote work the norm for the vast majority of its employees."
