Great culture and people...

Pros

Culture starting at the top is top notch and hopefully no matter what happens (IPO or acquisition), this culture will be sustaining. A lot of topnotch talent in place although many on the sales side are starting to leave. Product is also VERY good but even more differentiation is needed to fight off Microsoft and Dropbox long-term. Both companies have much more market awareness and the file sync and share market is quickly becoming a commodity.

Cons

Product is a "nice to have" for many enterprises which is driving down pricing and general value-add. Starting to lose some top talent in the field. Way too many VPs/Mgrs. Seems like we could cut 20% of the fat and still have plenty of layers in place

Pros

You know that feeling on Sunday evening when you dread coming into work on Monday? Well, you'll never get that at Box. I literally enjoy coming into work every single day and I sometimes have to remind myself to get home in the evenings. A candidate recently asked me why I like working at Box so much. It's definitely the culture and the people that keep me energized. Think of it as being in a very engaging and accepting social environment where you also get a ton of great work done.

Cons

As a company on the cutting edge of SaaS, we serve a ton of high demanding customers who expect the best from their software vendors. This requirement for excellence can produce many high pressure situations and it takes a little bit of experience to understand how to serve these customers well.

Pros

Amazing People (I have the team of my dreams) Invigorating Work Environment Opportunities to Create New Programs Everyone Gets to Make a Real Contribution to Our Total Future Success Fun and Play are Encouraged as Much as Hard Work RAINBOWS & UNICORNS!!

Cons

We've hired so many people, and we're moving so fast, that we don't get a chance to know each other better. A small handful of people here only think about what's in it for them, when they should be thinking more about how they can add value to the team as a whole.
