Pros

Great campus, lunch served daily, generous ESPP, good medical and dental benefits, maternity/paternity leave, unlimited PTO, compensation is above market average, and market leading product.

Cons

Box is not the place it used to be. It has become a highly political and autocratic environment where team leads no longer have autonomy nor are empowered to make trivial business decisions. The department is highly micromanaged and emphasizes “rinse and repeat” so creativity is not considered a value-add. There is significant concern with the lack of communication and transparency. Many people are leaving and/or are being let go and you learn about it when you see an empty desk. Box culture is highly acclaimed, but needs to be re-evaluated and prioritized in this department as it ranks the lowest in employee satisfaction. Box is no longer the fun, enjoyable and fulfilling place I once felt proud to work for. Significant changes must take place and fast or we’ll continue to lose top talent and will no longer attract new talent.

Pros

Amazing culture. One of the best anywhere, and by far the best I've ever experienced. Compensation seems consistently above market average. BEST ESPP I've seen of any tech company I've worked for (including Apple). Free in-house lunches and snacks. Very strong and innovative product. Lots of opportunity to move laterally and vertically. This company wants to help you achieve your longterm career goals. Best job I've ever had, for real.

Cons

Locations for headcount can be pretty strict.
