Aaron is great, the rest is a mixed bag

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Aaron is hands down one of the most incredible CEOs in the world. Passionate, brilliant, and super charming. Cares about every employee and takes the time to know people. There are some excellent and brilliant people there that are pushing limits and thinking differently and making change. Great training for sales people, albeit traditional training. You can go far if you build the right relationships and work hard.

Cons

Sales team is the epitome of traditional. Not a lot of room for nuance or uniqueness. They love a bro. Definitely no longer a start up company or culture and the push is just to keep the status quo. Not the least diverse sales team in the valley, but definitely up there. Subtle and not so subtle sexism abounds.

Pros

Great company and fantastic people to work with. There is a sense that they are on to something big.

Cons

Box has bit off too much too soon. Trying to go up against competitors like Open text and Sharepoint is not a great idea when the product is not quite there. If you are not in HQ, you are an afterthought. Also, the workforce is so young, they don't know what is real yet.

Need An Overhaul of Leadership Team

Pros

Flexible working arrangement...WFH and working remotely is widely accepted, fully stocked breakrooms, catered lunches, some smart people at the company who are really good at what they do.

Cons

Lack of overall vision, constantly changing priorities, lack of prioritization, lack of real leadership. Company was built on infrastructure that isn't scalable and now they're paying for it. They need to rip it apart and rebuild, otherwise they won't be able to get anywhere. too much politics and not enough collaboration.
