Pros

I continue to stay at Dropbox because of the phenomenal people I get to work with on a daily basis as well as one of the best and cohesive teams I've ever been on. It's a very blameless culture with a lot of positive attitudes just looking to move things forward.

Cons

Remote work isn't for everyone and while Dropbox makes a best attempt at making it THE way to work, I can't pretend it doesn't have it's downsides. Offsites happen but can't fully replace in office interactions.
