Pros

Flexible work schedule as long as work is done. Good pay and benefits. Challenging work. Met some of the best engineers.

Cons

Career development is a mystery. While rest of the Bay area is moving towards encouraging and recognizing hard working and dedicated women in technology, seen a reverse trend at Box. While there are very good leaders at Box that support career development for engineers at lower levels, there are also some of them who are just so insecure and can really hurt their career growth. If you are a smart, dedicated engineer and only woman in your team, you will soon find yourself in situations where you have to allow your team to be really demeaning to you in the name of team work. Management goes by pure numbers, so you are at a loss.

It sounds like you’ve had a somewhat mixed experience in your time at Box and I’d definitely like to learn more about it. We are laser focused on creating an environment of belonging for all Boxers and in particular, have seen some great progress over time with regards to women in tech, women in leadership and overall women representation - certainly there is ALWAYS more we can & will do. If you’re willing, I’d very much like to connect and understand what’s going on with your team. Feel free to ping me directly (c@box.com). Thanks - Christy Lake, Chief People Officer

Pros

CEO and Sr. Management seem to care about culture.

Cons

Lack of centralized goals. Major issue with siloed departments which is leading to animosity and frustration between teams, esp in CS and Sales.

Pros

Box is a wonderful company. There are amazing people that work here and I don't have a single doubt in my mind that Box will continue to become a large and successful Silicon Valley company. I've never come across a company with such a positive work culture, with so many like-minded passionate individuals, and with a meaningful purpose-driven mission to change the world. Aaron Levie is a unique character and it is no surprise Box is where it is at today because of him. Will be exciting to follow the ongoing journey of Box in the years to come.

Cons

They say people don't leave companies, they leave managers. And I'd have to truthfully admit that. Don't get me wrong, my manager was a wonderful person and genuinely tried his best to make my experience at Box one of the greatest (he really is a beautiful individual), but it was also his major gap as a leader. His focus was lost in a myriad of efforts to make Box great as a whole, but I think he lost sight on what it took to build the individuals that worked directly for him. From what I understand from individuals that worked for him in the past, it was for the same reason why they also moved on to other teams or companies. But this is quite common for leaders when they've only been at one company their entire career. Lack of experience generally.
