Fantastic engineering culture and growth opportunities
Dropbox has hands-down the best engineering culture I've experienced: no ego, good-faith discussions of technical strategy are the norm, and proposals from anyone are welcome. Engineers are encouraged to go anywhere in the stack needed to get the job done, and expected to go ahead and learn what they need to do so.
Dropbox provides an excellent atmosphere to learn both hard and soft skills, values mentorship, and gives you space to grow.
Things move at a slower pace than startups. If you're rolling out a new system, you need to plan thoroughly and work on a longer timescale than a smaller company may need. (This is also a soft skill learning opportunity!)
