Pros

-The people hands down. I have really enjoyed being here and have a learned a lot from some really kind, smart and humble people. -The perks are always nice, especially lunch as the kitchen staff is amazing. -There's some transparency but I've noticed it start to slip away a lot more as Box has grown. -A lot of opportunity for side projects and cross functionality, but mainly driven by you. - I think a lot of work life balance depends on the team you're on but there doesn't seem to be a lot of people pulling crazy hours a lot.

Cons

-There are a lot of people who have been at Box for a while and have become managers because of tenure, not experience, which makes for a lot of disjointed management as people are "Figuring it out" and given a lot of faith to do well without help even though they're newer managers. -Top heavy company, not a lot of roles for younger people to start out in. -A lot of experienced managers leaving lately. -People team is a mess even with a new CPO, she doesn't seem to care to spend time with her teams that need direction and her focus seems mainly on exec. - Also, 401K match ya'll, get with it!

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.
