Pros

Promising future -- definitely an IPO candidate at some point Great senior leadership -- the executive staff is a bunch of rockstars

Cons

Middle management is inexperienced. And not very good. Which means that unless you are middle management or super senior, you are out of luck. Also, there are clear cliques that get all the attention and opportunities. I guess these are all pains of scaling fast, but Box hasn't learnt from all the other companies that have gone through that.

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.
