Pros

Like everywhere else it has pros and cons it really depends on your team and manager but overall great place to work. When I first joined I was thrilled everything went great I was excited to work and I did, until i began to notice its nearly impossible to launch or get anything done without jumping through SEVERAL issues and loops. Eventually you realize you are working so hard with no progress to show for anything becuase you have spent most of your time fixing and defining things that should have already been in place. Because of this its extremely easy to burn out here. Which is why im convinced most people don't stay here long at all (they claim to have normal attrition) . For a company as old as Box they have tons to do internally as they barely have processes in-place, no clear direction for career growth, poor infrastructure and very flaky management..just look at the older comments or other review sites that go years back, it just seems its always been this way here. I was so excited to work here Im afraid I am starting to not like it which is really sad because it has the best work culture i've ever experienced.

Cons

Read above for insight^ TLDR: -Lack of career direction -management -poor infrastructure -no processes -Flaky Manangement -chaotic startup feel environment at times
