Overall excellent, but still maturing

Pros

I'm a firm believer that Box is doing right by customers and helping to make work better for millions of people around the world. Buying into the mission is super important to me, and I am a huge supporter of Box's mission of changing how the world works together. A few other good things: - Work/life balance is a priority for most managers and flexible working isn't uncommon - Unlimited PTO affords employees the ability to take the right amount of time off - In-office experience includes lunches, snacks, drinks, etc. - Box is huge on culture and the importance of belonging - Hard work is rewarded appropriately

Cons

There are two cons that I'd call out for prospective employees: 1. Box doesn't do 401(k) matching as of today. That being said, in my opinion the ESPP program more than makes up for it - but there's no traditional 401(k) match. 2. As part of growing pains, the top priorities aren't always clear to employees in some areas since it sometimes feels like there's a "flavor of the quarter" mentality coming from senior management.

Bet culture I have worked in

Pros

Leadership in my org really care about the employee experience and forming relationships outside of just the day-to-day demands. The company's response to the COVID pandemic has been really refreshing and may be the best planning I have seen since I joined.

Cons

Priorities can shift rapidly within a quarter. I have had to rework a number of projects - seemingly on a whim or based on a casual comment from the Estaff team.

Pros

Culture & People who Care. CEO cares deeply about innovation, design, engineering ideas, and listens deeply to the ideas of his people. He puts his people first, and gives all a chance to contribute to company vision. Our bar is high for culture and I haven't worked with the typical silicon valley jerk yet in the many years I've been at the company. Lots of career opportunities.

Cons

Execution. There is a need for counterbalancing the visionary product strategy in our culture to rely more on strict data driven decisions, product market evaluation, and understanding what size product we can actually achieve with our size organization. This can get lost in the shuffle and sometimes feel like we're going too broad.
