Pros
Box is an incredible company to work for. After being at a non-public, underperforming company, joining Box felt like stepping into a whole new world and a breath of fresh air! Management is honest, forward, and fun, there is not any change that isn't manageable. Quotas are consistent, and expectations are clear. Excellent benefits, and high pay compared to the market pay!
Cons
None! If you are a genuine and hardworking individual you belong here!
Pros
Great compensation, hybrid, great management.
Cons
none that I can think of!
Pros
Box has an incredibly talented and collaborative engineering team. The work is challenging and meaningful, with real impact on enterprise customers. Management is supportive, transparent, and genuinely invested in employee growth. The compensation and benefits are competitive, and there is a strong emphasis on work-life balance. The culture of innovation keeps the work exciting and rewarding every day.
Cons
Occasionally the pace of change can feel fast, but the strong team support and clear communication from leadership make it easy to adapt and stay aligned.
Pros
- Box provides very good compensation to most roles. - Some flexibility in where you work; if you were hired remotely, you continue to be supported as a remote employee. - A culture of team work; if you need support on a project, you will find it. So many smart, capable and kind people work at Box. - Decent transparency from leadership, with regular insights into business decisions, industry trends, etc. - The company will obviously attempt to squeeze as much productivity out of you as possible, but if you know how to create and maintain healthy work-life balance for yourself, you can achieve it.
Cons
- Very hectic ways of working; "urgent (to me)" work is often incorrectly conflated with "valuable" work, causing a lot of spin, scope creep, etc. So many employees express chronic high stress as a result. - An overwhelming amount of noise; blocks of text on slack that get lost, too many zoom calls that could have been emails, weekly all-company meetings (so expensive to put on, so little value in return). A lack of focus from across the business that only makes us look "busy" without actually being productive. - They have a "norm" or "expectation" for employees tied to an office to come into the office at least two days a week despite good business performance and high employee satisfaction while remote. Leadership claims this is for improved innovation or collaboration, but can point to no evidence that pushing employees to the office actually bears fruit. - The company clearly prioritizes shareholders above all else, often at the expense of the employees. Multiple years of "limited cash" for merit and/or promotion raises due to "the macro". Absolutely no adjustments in pay despite rising cost of living expenses and increased monetary burden for employees in expensive metro areas who are being pushed to "return to office". And yet, they have plenty of cash for stock buy backs and dividends. Corporate boiler plate nonsense when employees raise concerns about inequitable compensation, siting "tradeoffs" as though this was some kind of inevitable outcome. - Culture carrying roles (employee resource group leads, "chief fun officers", etc.) are not compensated for this labor. These roles disproportionately fall to members of marginalized groups (e.g. women, lgbtqia, bipoc, etc.). Company is overwhelmingly white and cis male.
Pros
Great company to work for
Cons
Pay is not good compared to other like companies
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.
Pros
Pros: * Great team members with diverse skill sets who are dedicated to their work. * Solid company culture with a focus on work-life balance. * Good compensation
Cons
* Limited Growth Opportunities: Career advancement here is challenging. Growth seems constrained by rigid processes, and promotions are only considered once a year. Even then, exceptions to the strict promotion rules are rarely accommodated, often because management appears unwilling to take risks or challenge the system. * Legacy Codebase and Slow Processes: The reliance on outdated technology is pervasive, which results in slow processes and hinders innovation. Efforts to modernize are sporadic and often lack sufficient momentum. * Management Lacks Imagination: Management seems content with following "best practices" without questioning whether they fit our needs or drive us forward. This lack of creativity could be replaced by an algorithm, and it wouldn't make much difference. * Seniority Issues: There is a disconnect between titles and actual skills. I've seen individuals hired as "Senior" or "Staff" engineers without the expected capabilities. Meanwhile, internal promotions are frequently blocked by red tape, creating a system where it's often easier to leave the company and rejoin later to advance your career.
Pros
- Working with people globally - Friendly / positive work environment - ESPP/RSUs - Good opportunity to learn for newer individuals - Safe for queer people
Cons
- Pay raises and promotions have been stagnant since 2020 no matter your performance or increase in scope. - A lot of internal politics - Dishonest leadership - Clout chasing is the king metric - Inefficient and outdated work structures due to constant restructuring and lack of direction - Pay is below market value - Poor work/life balance, leadership expects everyone to work weekends and nights
