How are promotions handled at Box?

Amazing people, great culture, individual accomplishments are recognized, and opportunity for lateral and upward movement.

- No 401(k) matching - RTO mandates are increasing - Product lacks key features to be competitive with ECM vendors - Too much reliance on partners, which complicates deal structures as Box will not resell partner offerings - Poor RSU refreshers - Negligible pay increases

1. Good Culture in the department I work in. 2. Competitive Salary + Stocks 3. Opportunities to travel to other offices around the world 4. Opportunities to get refund for professional courses and certificates. 5. Cool company-wide programs and initiatives, like mentoring program, etc. 6. Fantastic office in Warsaw! 7. Free Lunch + Gym reimbursement 8. Quick Promotions (very mature career development framework is in place)

1. Company is actively pushing for office attendance - 2-3 times per week is now a must. 2. Organizational structure is not always obvious 3. Varying level of process maturity across different departments

Amazing culture with clear path to growth Flexible (to a degree) work environment Great perks

- Upward mobility is still decent, though it has decreased significantly over the past two years. - The shift to a three-day return-to-office schedule is a slight drawback.

-Great culture -Decent benefits, though missing 401k match -Decent flexibility in schedule -A solid product and historical customer base -No major layoffs in recent years

-Communication: leadership is rapidly losing touch with the employee experience, and what the needs and pain points of their teams are. Box really suffers from a situation of "left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing." Even within GTM, teams which work together every day don't communicate, and their respective leaders aren't on the same page -Unclear strategy: leadership is pushing to move at a faster and faster pace, without reflecting on what is an isn't working. Employees are being asked to do more work, while not receiving better pay or benefits, and satisfaction is dropping fast -Lack of advancement opportunity: promotions move incredibly slowly, as does compensation - pay is decently benchmarked, but lagging behind the industry -Required 3x a week in-office, even though a poll of the company showed the majority of workers would prefer otherwise, an old-fashioned mindset

Great coworkers and team setting

Lack of promotions and growing

Good pay & job safety (no big layoffs so far)

The environment is highly political, with significant communication gaps between departments, which makes collaboration difficult. The sales strategy is very reactive, meaning that when things don’t go as planned, those in supporting roles often bear the brunt of the blame. Rather than focusing on solutions, the culture tends to prioritize assigning blame, leading to a frustrating and demotivating work atmosphere. Favoritism is also a noticeable issue, particularly in the UK. It’s clear that promotions and opportunities often go to those with the right connections rather than those who have demonstrated strong results. This creates an uneven playing field, where knowing the right people can lead to better deals, fewer responsibilities, and more resources, while others are left to struggle.

- Strong product with real enterprise value - Smart, supportive coworkers across teams - Good place to build customer-facing and cross-functional experience - Exposure to meaningful technical and commercial work

- Career growth can depend heavily on team and leadership, with internal visibility and alignment playing a big role - Strong performance does not always translate into timely promotion or compensation progression - Because Box competes in a category often viewed as commoditized, deals can be harder to win without strong technical selling - Overall employee experience can vary a lot by org

The culture and people are great, very team focused.

Due to the macroeconomic environment merit pay and promotions have slowed down considerably.

finish your work is fine if you don't wanna promotion

PTO is back WLB getting wrose No referesher

- powerful and useful product to build, sell and improve - international environment where you can thrive and polish your stakeholder management skills and English command - generous employee benefits and SWAG (for example, +1 PTO day for your birthday) - nice office(s) in Warsaw - opportunities to grow horizontally and doing internal mobility movements - great office and company events - investing in EB heavily - stable contract of employment and offering RSUs - you can make some friends and meet smart people, if you're lucky :) - there are some decent Engineering Managers out there

- Company Values are just on the paper and Make Your Mom Proud means nothing, because there is no human decency and morality among Leadership (for example: offering candidates way below the internally approved salary ranges just because the candidates had lower salary expectations) - Leadership / Directors are always right, they are not open to hear feedback or improve anything, they just wanna hear praises and nice things - there's back stabbing and gossips everywhere so better watch yourself - removing uncomfortable people is a norm, especially when they could get in the way of a Manager being promoted or they would reveal his incompetence - Managers care more about their promotion than promoting their direct reports - there are managers with no people management skills whatsoever, micromanagers encouraging people to work from their vacation and sick leaves, not supporting taking more than a week of PTO, during 1:1's talking more about their travels, plans or loans in francs than about your work and how to unblock you, thriving a culture of blame, fear, silence, obedience and working over hours; gossiping and complaining about other people and other direct reports with you during your 1:1's, if they got a negative feedback in the employee surveys they were provoking weird conversations and sharing guesses who was the author the negativre feedback, not interested in any feedback or improvement because they considered a direct report can't give them feedback; led several direct reports to burnout, ending in a hospital or having a severe breakdown, masters of gaslighting - the most toxic work culture I ever experienced with corporate politics and playing games - no work life balance if you work from Europe - I've seen people who were fired unfairly just because their Managers didn't like them and wanted to get rid of them
