Pros

-Reps in the sales org are very easy to get along with -commission is solid

Cons

Management is the fake. From VPs to Sales Managers, the only goal is to validate that their job is needed. If you were to eliminate every manager and Director from Box, nothing will change. Senior AEs from all over the org left or are about to leave, and this is going right over the heads of managers.

Pros

My peers were friendly and welcoming.

Cons

Middle management micromanage their team's work, schedule excessive, pointless (mandatory) meetings, commonly give ambiguous, and sometimes contradictory instructions. They ignore genuine problems affecting the team, and dole out criticism rather than encouragement in their weekly overly pedantic ticket reviews (often giving less than perfect marks with poor explanations as to why). The work load is also at times overwhelming.

Pros

-HQ is a very nice office, and right next to the Redwood City Caltrain Station -Lunch is served daily and there are snacks -Management is for the most part transparent about what is going on day-to-day -Unlimited PTO

Cons

-Incredibly political -Managers who either micro-manager, or are no where to be found for support -Poor performing employees are not let go -Company is going downhill. People are leaving left and right. Stock price is only going down. Perks, like dinner, are being taken away -Not very competitive pay -No 401(k) match, and while it remains the most requested company perk, management continues to sugarcoat the fact that it won't be happening anytime soon
