Pros

Great campus, lunch served daily, generous ESPP, good medical and dental benefits, maternity/paternity leave, unlimited PTO, compensation is above market average, and market leading product.

Cons

Box is not the place it used to be. It has become a highly political and autocratic environment where team leads no longer have autonomy nor are empowered to make trivial business decisions. The department is highly micromanaged and emphasizes “rinse and repeat” so creativity is not considered a value-add. There is significant concern with the lack of communication and transparency. Many people are leaving and/or are being let go and you learn about it when you see an empty desk. Box culture is highly acclaimed, but needs to be re-evaluated and prioritized in this department as it ranks the lowest in employee satisfaction. Box is no longer the fun, enjoyable and fulfilling place I once felt proud to work for. Significant changes must take place and fast or we’ll continue to lose top talent and will no longer attract new talent.

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
