Box- Where PM Careers Go To Die

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch Caltrain pass Generous ESPP Gym/Phone Reimbursement

Cons

The product team is a turnstile. Both Long-tenured PMs and new PMs (less than a half a year) are leaving or are looking. Most individual contributors have been burnt on empty promises. You’ll soon realize that you’re really just a chess piece amongst dueling VPs and directors. May the odds ever be in your favor. You might just luck out. In addition, former acqui-hires who left the company were threatened via lawsuit because they left too quick. Seriously Box, they left because y’all treated them like BLEEP. If you don’t believe me, I’d encourage you to reach out to former PMs before accepting the job.
