Flexible, but toxic

Pros

Flexible, good work life balance. I really appreciate leadership realizing that life isn't black and white, and make room for doctors appointments, family matters, etc. I respect our C levels and think that they are kind, moral people.

Cons

Toxic culture fueled on nepotism and lots of ego. The culture is stale and lacking, and the opportunity for advancement is limited based on location. This has been a great name to put on my resume, but I'd say the learning experiences have been dismal.

Good upside ruined...

Pros

Box has good work life balance, okay pay, and is generally a decent job for the valley.

Cons

No direction in product or engineering during the time I was there. Huge turnover which was shocking since the general work-life is really good. A lot of the higher ranked people are more interested in self-preservation than results. Very non-result oriented promotion rubric which leads to a lot of bad senior leadership who then invent a new rubric.

Pros

I'm an account exec who just left the company. I put in my two weeks and everything went smoothly.

Cons

Some words of advice: In the last 2 years, 11 reps in Texas have left this company. I know personally 8 of them. If you are not working out of corporate don't waste your time with this place. Also, the oldest person at this company is around 26 years old? If you can handle working with millenelias and VP's that say the words "cool" and "awesome" in front of the CEO and CIO visits you setup, then maybe this is for you.
