Pros

Everything about Box, it's culture, and the employees who make it run are phenomenal. It's a great product, there's a good amount of transperancy in the company.

Cons

Three words- Austin OBR management. In all my years of working, I have never experienced management as bad as this. And this is including retail jobs. If nothing changes, I might have to change my mind on how smart and amazing Box is as a company- because it would just be bad business not to make a personnel change.

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you felt this way about your manager. As the Director of Lead Gen, I want to ensure my management team is doing everything to make the team successful. I had conversations with half the OBR team to gather feedback about the Austin office, management and the role. I didn't receive this feedback in my meetings, so I will personally address with Austin management. Thanks again - Lauren

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.
