Box is FULL OF ITSELF

Pros

The product works as advertised. Free food. Free t-shirts. Good employee stock purchase plan. Great HQ facility to take clients.

Cons

For new employees, managers are pushed to hire from a list of “elite” colleges. The CEO didn’t graduate from college. Is this not a double standard? The best candidate for the job is not always hired. Diversity is pushed beyond belief and then used in marketing, both internally and externally. Box is not a company where the majority of employees stay and have a true career. No true leadership in sales. Backstabbing is encouraged and tolerated.

Pros

- Company and product are heading in the right direction - Scrappy startup culture getting professional, while keeping its core values intact - Nice people all around, with emphasis on doing the right thing - Culture that empowers people of all ranks to take ownership and make decisions

Cons

- While the company as a whole is aiming to become more 'corporate', certain parts can still feel very scrappy. - At times, niceness all around can become a challenge. No one wants to offend anyone and hence direct, in-your-face feedback is limited.
