    Just got a random spam sales email from Dropbox, so googled the sender to see if it was real or not and it looks like the whole workforce is on their website:

    https://www.dropbox.com/about

    Quite unusual, normally it’s just the Board or senior management team who get named and shamed on the website.

    Seems quite popular with a lot of startups these days. Not sure how well it works when the company gets to the size of Dropbox, though.

    Mind you, I’m on the front page of the (fairly large) pharmaceutical company I used to work for’s website…

    I’d guess Product is Product Management ie features, positioning, etc

    There seems to be quite a lot of attractive ladies at Dropbox.

    Good work, HR.

    I’m a big fan os Sang Tian.

    …not sure if man or lady, though.

    Edit: On further inspection, Dropbox seem to have a no fatties, or over 35s, policy.

    Anyone remember the thread (pre-hack) taking the pee’s out of some guy’s employee photo (maybe with a weird name?) and he tracked the traffic back to STW.. and joined up.. all gets a bit vague…

    only me…?

    Weirdly, at a previous company we A-B tested whether or not putting our faces on the homepage made a difference to people checking out. We found that those who had the opportunity to gaze lovingly upon a photo of us standing around in a carpark were about 5% more likely to checkout than those that were denied our glorious visages.

    People are weird.

    Just looked like a normal anaemic, middle aged, overweight IT professional. But on closer inspection you could be right…..

    We have most of our staff on our website. People could opt out but the vast majority didn’t. Leads to some occasional odd conversations for support “How do I know you work there? You’re not on the website” (usually answered by “You called us during work hours, of course I work here”).
