      Used to be great, culture and benefits in decline

      Pros

      - Company culture & values were previously huge pro's but that's now rapidly declining - Lot of smart, supportive teammates within the company depending on the team - Easygoing, stable work if you are just looking to coast

      Cons

      - A previously great company culture is in a major decline. Values and culture are no longer taken seriously and the company mainly cares about the bottom line. Morale seems to be getting worse & a lot of tenured employees are leaving the company because of this. This is pretty obvious based on just overall sentiment internally and even the other reviews on here. - Growth is and has always been single-digits, leadership always uses "FX Headwinds" as an excuse. Stock pretty much never goes up despite major investments in stock buybacks. If/when growth doesn't re-accelerate with this AI boom and marketing then it likely never will. - No 401k match. Benefits consistently being removed - Pay is definitely lower than other comparable software/tech companies. - Mediocre merit & equity increases. Even if you get merit or promo, the increase isn't even effective until August when it happens in April. If you stay a long time you'll hit a cliff and be way under band. - CEO micromanages and constantly chasing the next shiny object instead of keeping a focused growth strategy (see Box Relay, Box AI, Box Sign, I could go on for a while) - RTO is steadily increasing, likely 4 days this year and every day the next. Difficult to be remote if you're a new joiner - If you're a people manager, expect any attrition or backfill to go to Warsaw. The time zone differences and presence in Warsaw will give you lots of early or late meetings too. - Box pinches pennies, expect cost-cutting measures across your team frequently - A lot of Boxers are just coasting and here to cash a check, which can make it difficult to get things done or progress if you actually take your work and career progression seriously

      Strong culture and growth opportunities in a fast-evolving company with some structural growing pains

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Box has a strong and inclusive culture that emphasizes collaboration and respect, along with a flat organizational structure that makes it easy to interact directly with management. The company is forward-looking, particularly in its rapid adoption of AI and emerging technologies, and provides substantial opportunities for learning and growth for employees who are proactive and self-motivated.

      Cons

      As a company positioned between a startup and a large enterprise, Box can feel ambiguous at times, and employees may be expected to build processes or structure on their own and work outside their formal responsibilities. In addition, some management roles have long tenure, which can reduce advancement opportunities for individual contributors aiming to move into leadership positions.

      Crashing and burning

      Pros

      Base pay is decent, as are the RSUs you get when you join. Hybrid, at least for now. Offices are OK places, which is good since you'll be spending more and more time there. They will pay part of your lunch.

      Cons

      The company's culture is rapidly going downhill. Leadership seems to be moving to make this place as dreary as possible, where people are purely judged based on their metrics rather than how well they actually do the work. Morale is in the toilet and it shows in the number of outages occurring. People are just going through the motions and the level of toxicity is rising daily. RTO is being slowly ramped up. We went from 2x to 3x this year, and it's mandatory - managers say they are given attendance data from our badges and if you're not in the office 3x/wk you will feel it at performance time. It's almost certain they're going to force 4x/wk this year. There used to be transport cost benefit, but that got thrown away. They also took away the quarterly mental health days this year. Benefits that are left are pretty pathetic compared to other valley companies, let alone "leading" ones, and there are fewer every year. Raises are pitiful, and stock refreshes are rare (and tiny when they happen). Seems like the company is quite happy to give people the equivalent of a huge pay cut after four years; are they hoping people will just leave? Promotions are also a grueling slog and even if you get the title they won't even pay you the money for months afterwards. Stealth layoff last year in the guise of realignment and culling of low performers. Leadership seems to either be absent or obsessively micro-managing projects. The CEO is buried in details, sitting in design meetings approving the appearance of buttons. Meanwhile we bounce from moonshot to moonshot in the hope of somehow appearing relevant in the AI bubble. The stock price keeps falling so it's not working, but it's depressing to watch and morale-sapping.
