Great culture, work-life balance, and getting better at delivering value to customers quickly
The company is excellent at taking care of employees and promoting a culture of collaboration. In the past, the main criticism that I had was that it didn't have a culture of delivering results and focusing on the customer experience. Fortunately, that is changing fast, and we have been delivering plenty of results across the board. If we continue at the same pace, I expect a great future for Dropbox, which I really want as I enjoy working here.
I think the main challenge that Dropbox has is a sub-optimal development infrastructure, which significantly slows down development. The company is investing in fixing it, as it should, but the experience is generally slow as of today.
Continue to focus on the customer and adding value quickly. Iterate, take risks, learn from mistakes.
Continue to focus on security and the company's reputation.

I recently took the automated interview test from Dropbox, and I have to say the experience was extremely frustrating. The system tracks every movement and every sound, which makes the whole thing feel more like a circus than a professional interview
