The company doesn’t seem to be able to manage compensation and benefits in an organized or professional manner. There is also no 401k match.

Pros

I love the culture here compared to previous tech companies I've worked at. The CEO is a good guy. Love his energy and passion. The perks are really great, as mentioned in all the reviews. Sweet deal if you're pregnant. Maternity leave is almost 5 months off full pay and 12 weeks for new dads. Smart hard working people. Great work life balance, depending on your team. Compensation is similar to most good tech companies in Silicon Valley. Also depends on your position. If you are a manager, most likely you will be making six figures. Love the new froyo machine! Please do not take your away. :)

Cons

Yearly compensation raise is confusing now. I was told pay changes happen 1st of April every year, but this year it has changed. Also it's not up to HR, but your team and when they get around to it. This is not a good idea. There should be a set deadline across the company. There should also be be more talk of promotion considerations after 2 years at the company. I'm looking to move up the ladder and I think I'm being held back bc of budget cuts on my team. :( 401k matching would be nice too, but I heard it's in the works.

Hi there - glad you're enjoying the new froyo machine as much as I am! We're also really proud of our parental leave policies - giving families time to connect is really important! I was concerned to see your comment about the annual compensation review - we DO have an annual process with increases effective February 1st for sales and April 1st for non-sales Boxers. It's a company-wide process with an aligned timeline and active manager involvement. We also have a semi-annual promotion process to evaluate Boxers ready for progression. I'd encourage you to reach out to your manager or People Partner if you have any questions. Thanks - Christy
