I really enjoy: * Great engineering talent * Well-reasoned decisions * High-end restaurant-quality food * A multitude of perks * Creative projects * Great transparencyCons: There are still a lot of organizational growing pains. Dropbox still hasn't quite figured out how to do peer reviews well, the office is a little crowded, and so on. This is certainly all going to be resolved in time. Everyone here has good intentions.
