Good product, poor management

Pros

Product is wonderful: it gives you mobile productivity, period! I still use it and love it.

Cons

New things crept up your plate, not because competitive landscape creates the need, but internal politics. Some egoistic individuals found a way to latch on to C-level management, and would overturn other teams' work-plans, simply because they preemptively convinced C-level management.

Not a good sales org

Pros

Offices in SF and Los Altos. Provide transportation. Good snacks. Easy product to learn.

Cons

-Inexperienced managers, of which all are from outside the company. (This is why there is no culture there anymore) They have then replaced several already. -Turnover -No promotional path -Internal promotion is extremely rare. (This is why everyone in corporate sales is tripping over themselves to get out.) -For a company this size the politics and favoritism are unreal. -More concerned with "where" their outside manager hires worked, instead of if those hires are actually capable. -Very little support for management. It is all "CYA" and no one stands up to take responsibility.

Box- Where PM Careers Go To Die

Pros

Free lunch Caltrain pass Generous ESPP Gym/Phone Reimbursement

Cons

The product team is a turnstile. Both Long-tenured PMs and new PMs (less than a half a year) are leaving or are looking. Most individual contributors have been burnt on empty promises. You’ll soon realize that you’re really just a chess piece amongst dueling VPs and directors. May the odds ever be in your favor. You might just luck out. In addition, former acqui-hires who left the company were threatened via lawsuit because they left too quick. Seriously Box, they left because y’all treated them like BLEEP. If you don’t believe me, I’d encourage you to reach out to former PMs before accepting the job.
