This means 90% of the year is spent on remote work, and the remaining 10% is dedicated to employee off-site events.

What does that mean? Five weeks of retreat a year? Who pays for that?

I have a designated-remote job, but I'm also in a role that's periodically customer-facing. For accounting purposes, the time I spend working from home in my home office is considered 'remote' and my time on-site at customer premises is considered an off-site event. Not sure how they do it at Dropbox, but that gives you an idea of how the time categorization goes.
