Dropbox is my third job and my favorite so far. The company has led the way in terms of remote work and allows a more flexible schedule custom to the way that you work best.
The work itself is technically challenging and interesting. I've learned a ton of good engineering and development processes.
The obvious downside that comes with working remote is that it's a bit harder to make peer-to-peer interactions. The company acknowledges this and takes measures to handle it (rainbow bagel making class, chocolate making class, tie-dye events, etc.). They also offer twice-a-year team offsites, but the remote nature can still be tough.
Also related to remote work is that it can be a bit invasive. It can be tough to distance yourself from Slack and the stream of notifications/email related to work (especially across time zones). That might be more of an individual issue, though.
Technically, internal dev infra can be a pain point, but it is continuing to get better.
I think promotions are also tough, and more insight into that process would be helpful.
