Box Employee Reviews about "no 401k match"

Pros

Nothing to hide here, what you see is what you get. From the interview process through my first month, one thing remains true, people genuinely love working at Box. Even from a remote environment, I have been welcome with open arms and have felt a true sense of team and community. I am one month in and very excited about my future at Box.

Cons

No 401k match which I did have at my other company BUT the other amazing benefits outweigh this con.

Pros

Compensation, Employee Stock Purchase Program, Free lunch & snacks, Culture, Management, Ability for promotions & lateral movements, Good Insurance offerings

Cons

There aren't many cons that I can think of beyond no 401K matching. As is true with practically any sales job, your ability to earn high commission is indicative of your patch.

Pros

-Aaron cares deeply about the company, our future trajectory, and every single individual here. -Great flexibility with working hours -- especially during COVID-19 pandemic. -Culture-forward company. Friday Lunches, Community Corner events, ERC's & interests groups. I feel like I'm part of a family when I come to work each day.

Cons

-No 401K match -Compensation and job leveling

Pros

Great culture. The company genuinely cares about you as a person and provides opportunities to learn and grow your career.

Cons

no 401k match, high turn over

Pros

-Supportive managers who care about you as humans (especially during COVID) -Culture is strong/positive

Cons

-No 401k match -Pay is not as competitive as other companies (management for whatever reason does not want to acknowledge as an issue)

Pros

Culture Forward Flexible Schedule Constant career growth High Impact Projects/Work

Cons

No 401k match Compensation needs to match company values

Pros

Heavily career-focused. They really want to see you grow and improve. People encourage each other to spread their wings. Very judgement-free.

Cons

No 401k match and no signs of one coming ever. Lots of turnover which causes unrest/confusion and is not handled well by management. Many employers are complainers and want more - but I think they're doing a great job.

Pros

Work was interesting and had a lot of freedom. Provided lunch/dinner (although I hear some of that went away). Unlimited PTO, good benefits

Cons

There was no 401k matching whatsoever.

Pros

Box continues to have a good culture. There is an excellent work life balance, unlimited vacation, free lunch, and good overall benefits. eStaff is well respected and comes across as open and approachable.

Cons

The company-wide focus is on becoming profitable and reducing costs. Hiring is slowing or has stopped completely in most teams. Teams are repeatedly asked to do more with less. Growth opportunities are becoming more limited. Mid-level leadership is spotty (lots of Director and VP level people have been leaving over the last year or two). In Box Consulting, there are some members of the senior leadership team that seem to be good at "playing the game" and managing up, but not making any real impact on their teams. New senior managers and directors are brought on, especially within the Growth and Strategy team, but they don't make any real impact and aren't respected internally. Constructive feedback on this team is not welcomed. Meanwhile, individual contributors are leaving and their positions aren't being backfilled but are being moved offshore (which some members of the leadership team are bragging about). Senior leadership within Box Consulting seems out of touch and uninterested in receiving feedback. The only priority is billable customer work - even if that means sacrificing efficiency and process improvements. BC is moving closer and closer to a traditional Consulting org, but they don't get comparable compensation. Time tracking is scrutinized, comments are required, and must be done daily. Monthly healthcare costs are high. There is no 401K matching even though people have been asking for this for years.

Pros

Culture and product are amazing

Cons

Not great stock options and no 401k match
