Pros

Box.net is an incredible place to work if you're at the top of your game and willing to work hard. The pace is fast and the work and company culture are engaging - the days and weeks go by in a flash. This is the first company I've worked for that truly walks the talk of "work hard - play hard", and my direct co-workers, without exception, are exceptional on both a personal and professional level. As if this weren't enough, the company takes very good care of its employees - I can't imagine a better company to work for!

Cons

If you or your family are not comfortable with working hard at a fast-paced company, Box.net probably isn't for you...

Pros

Some really good engineers work here. Great people to learn from.

Cons

- Oncall load, for the biggest part is handled by US engineers in favor of Poland work life balance. - People play squid games for small pay changes. Shop around, you can easily double your pay and do real good work. - Infrastructure is horrible. You will be working on antique practices that will tax you everyday. The longer you work here, you will fall behind from the rest of the world. - Management is really good at making people believe that they are working on something really important and keeping people busy. It's like a vending machine that takes dollars and gives out pennies. - All the top leadership(basically anyone who has an AMA) is full of people who are stuck in their roles. It's hunger games + squid games +++.

Pros

Supportive teammates, flexibility with WFH, very easy to coast if you are not trying to grow.

Cons

Middle Management sucks. "People Managers" who drive KPIs without real care or understanding of workloads. Typical Favortism It hurts those who are passionate to grow in the industry when being stone-walled and not being taken seriously. Box Loves to pinch pennies. You will have to deal with a lot of meetings that are useless and severely lack action.
