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

Pros

Good culture (but how its getting diluted) Good work life balance Some managers do care about employees

Cons

No equivalent refreshers (stocks) even if you are performing good (based on yearly review) at your current level (I am not talking about next level). So basically after 4 years your TC is going to be less. Managers are valued more in my team. In my team only manager's birthdays and joining anniversaries get celebrated with kudo boards etc. Promotions: I see that some teams have lenient promotions vs some have very strict. If you want to join, try to join new, less established team where you will have better chance to get promoted. If you are on IC track, it's really hard to get promoted. While if you are in manager track it will be better. Also I have seen the trend that people who are bold, good at presentation and keep themself's in limelight have better chance for promotion. Overall Box is not a great place to work anymore.
