Pros

It's all about the people, people, people. Every team I've been on at Box for the past 7 years has been filled with supportive, intelligent, humorous, down-to-earth folks, and I can't stress how big of a positive impact that has made for me in my day-to-day. The work is constantly challenging -- with the support system from my colleagues and manager I'm able to grow and take on harder assignments knowing they'll have my back if I run into roadblocks. I also feel like my manager does a great job advocating for me and creating a safe space for me to voice my concerns if anything comes up. Lastly, the cafeteria fries (pre-covid obviously) is some of the best I've ever had.

Cons

Transitioning to a more mature company, Box is still battling through EOL'ing some legacy tools and products. Migrating off of these old systems takes time and we don't always have the resources to do it while continuing to successfully run the business. There certainly have been moments of frustration in asking for these resources and seeing our tech debt only growing - it wasn't until recently that this has changed for the better and we've been able to get some new hires to help us through it.

Pros

-People genuinely love working here and many reps make their number -Box seems to have found its stride in the mid market space and it's great to see things grow and pick up! -Customers love the product -POSITIVE sales culture - cannot stress this enough - it's rare to find an organization that genuinely wants to support one another and lend a helping hand whenever possible -SO excited to see what's to come!

Cons

-There was a little uncertainty around acquisition, etc that made starting in the last couple months a bit nervewracking, but KKR's investment has calmed those rumors for now -Hard to compete with players like Microsoft and Google who give content mgmt solutions away for free - Box has so much more and is better, but articulating that to customers can be a challenge
