Hi!
Dropbox two account works great. It's specifically designed to keep your personal Dropbox completely separate (and unscrewup-able) from your company assets. We built it because people had been intermingling personal Dropboxes with company assets and it created messes for them when they left the company, etc.
Anecdotally, I've had my personal Dropbox account since 2007 (was one of the first 1000 beta users), and my family manages tons of stuff in it. I started using two account in 2013 when joined Dropbox (the company), before we released it publicly. Your existing Dropbox gets moved to "Dropbox (Personal)" and a second folder gets created called "Dropbox (Your Company)". Nothing changes about the behavior of "Dropbox (Personal)".
No problems whatsoever with the separation of personal and company--and that reflects the vast majority of our users' experiences as well onboarding a team.
As another user in this thread mentioned, Dropbox doesn't support 3+ accounts, so if you work for multiple companies (who all use Dropbox), that might be a problem.
Just a guess, I think the other problem report in this thread was someone who wasn't expecting Dropbox "for teams" to create a completely new type of account for everyone at his/her company. They probably use basic or pro accounts in an ad-hoc way at their company and were unfamiliar with the teams product and the fact it is distinct.
