Pros
Amazing culture. One of the best anywhere, and by far the best I've ever experienced.
Compensation seems consistently above market average.
BEST ESPP I've seen of any tech company I've worked for (including Apple).
Free in-house lunches and snacks.
Very strong and innovative product.
Lots of opportunity to move laterally and vertically. This company wants to help you achieve your longterm career goals.
Best job I've ever had, for real.Cons
Locations for headcount can be pretty strict.
Advice to Management
Keep driving our values as and their role in the business decisions. That is a huge part of what keeps Box such a great place to work.

Pros
Never have I worked somewhere where everybody is friendly, cares about your success, and are some of the smartest people around. I think the leadership really makes an effort to make every employee feel valued and special, and I'm all about that.
Cons
Still trying to figure out our product-market fit is tough, but this is part of the growing pains
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing!

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Box full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Some amazing people work here at box. It's a good learning experience to interact with them.
Company values reflect in most teams interactions
Great in+house kitchen and snack options
Amazing benefits but no 401k matchingCons
Middle management feels inexperienced both for product and engineering orgs
Lack of clear direction in terms of product growth from higher management
Getting rid of non performers is really hard and this drags the teams downAdvice to Management
Finalize a strategy and go for it. Please don't change the course every year
Fix the engineering org issues by focusing on quality of crucial existing services instead of building new products for showcase
Please fill the long vacant positions. Many teams don't have managers or PMs that interact on a daily basis and that's clearly not workingBox 2019-03-15 23:02 PDT![Box Logo]()
