Pros

-Decent comp -Culture can be great, but this heavily depends on your team and manager -Great HQ and C-Suite

Cons

-Morale is much lower since Starboard joined the Board. Sales reps are treated more like a number than actual people. -Lots of talk around D&I, but politics still take reign. -Leadership isn’t receptive to feedback or actively seeking it out, allowing toxic management styles to continue unchecked.

Pros

Box is a place that values it's employees and will push you to be your best, while giving you the support you need to do your job. Feedback is a two way street, which allows for strong communication between peers, management, and upper management. I've never worked for a company that a CEO has a weekly call to give updates and highlights. The support from our entire company during the current pandemic has been incredible.

Cons

Box is an amazing product, but we earn our wins. Customers may think "everything works" or "everything is fine" or "we have O365" until we can show them how Box integrates with their tools, but helps them with very specific use cases. It can be difficult to get in the door, but if you make it count - it's worth the hard work.

Pros

Leadership is incredible here. The CEO is incredibly charismatic and intelligent and is great at inspiring and motivating the company. There is a lot of transparency and there is a great culture. These are some of the best people I've ever worked with and there are a lot of people invested in making sure that everyone feels like they are able to do their best work. This reflects really well on the core values at Box. I'm able to truly be myself at work and feel very accepted for the work I do. Also, there is great recognition for jobs well done.

Cons

Despite being a best in class product, there is very little brand awareness outside of the company. There are also some decisions that are made in terms of comp, spending, etc that don't really make sense. Comp plans are always changing (that's to be expected) and sales folks are under paid compared to the market. If you are achieving quota, you are able to blow past your OTE though.
