      Big ideas, poor execution.

      Pros

      Young workforce that fosters meeting people and making friends, enough snacks, etc. are provided to cover at least breakfast and lunch, free Caltrain passes, shuttles to/from SF, subsidized gym memberships, exciting time to be part of the company.

      Cons

      Internal mobility is not impossible but it's not easy, middle management is inexperienced and lacks the skill set to effectively manage teams, work-life balance is non-existent, pay is not competitive unless you are an engineer.

      Pros

      Promising future -- definitely an IPO candidate at some point Great senior leadership -- the executive staff is a bunch of rockstars

      Cons

      Middle management is inexperienced. And not very good. Which means that unless you are middle management or super senior, you are out of luck. Also, there are clear cliques that get all the attention and opportunities. I guess these are all pains of scaling fast, but Box hasn't learnt from all the other companies that have gone through that.

      Pros

      - Flexible culture - Upper management tries to be transparent.

      Cons

      - Many smart people leaving the company - Bad engieering culture. - Very difficult to communicate/work across teams. - Every Engineer works in his or her small world. - Most teams are just keeping Box up. No serious innovation. - Benefits are just okay nothing super fancy. - Mostly importantly the vibe is very sad in the company.
