She invited me over to their office for a chat about how it was to work for Dropbox. When I arrived I got an email from a former colleague of mine from L’Oreal who was now heading up the HR team at Dropbox in Dublin. After completing a bunch of initial interviews I was invited to Dublin for an interview with Google, which I was really excited about. to see what kind of positions they had available within my field. I knew this was the case in a lot of tech companies so I started researching the big tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Linkedin etc. I was looking for opportunities in high growth companies where I could get a lot of responsibility and the chance to shape my role. Personally after spending around 2 years at L’Oreal it was just the right time to explore something different. “I gained a lot of valuable experience working at L’Oreal, it is obviously a big company and you get to work with smart people there. Of course it was not always fun to have a full time study and a 60 hour/week job on the side, but I managed to do quite well on both fronts in the end”.Īfter two years at L’Oréal Emil decided to explore other opportunities. The decision to work full time concurrent with his MSc at CBS was a deliberate choice: “Not that I considered school to be uninteresting I was just more keen on getting a “real job”. At the point of graduating from CBS Emil was already working full time as a Key Account Manager at L’Oréal.

Most of Emil’s experience before landing the job at Dropbox had been within sales and account management. We sat down with Emil to get his insights of what it is like to work for one of the fastest growing tech unicorns, how the culture differ from European companies and managed to pull out a few advices to anyone interested in pursuing careers within Dropbox. So far it’s been a fast paced ride taking him from Dublin to Copenhagen and more recently to the office in New York City where he is working with some of the largest companies in the US. Back in 2015 Emil made the move from the industry giant L’Oreal to the fast growing tech company Dropbox.
