Growing pains

Pros

Promising future -- definitely an IPO candidate at some point Great senior leadership -- the executive staff is a bunch of rockstars

Cons

Middle management is inexperienced. And not very good. Which means that unless you are middle management or super senior, you are out of luck. Also, there are clear cliques that get all the attention and opportunities. I guess these are all pains of scaling fast, but Box hasn't learnt from all the other companies that have gone through that.

Pros

Some of the best & brightest people I've ever met. Management cares about its people from the top down.

Cons

Food is getting worse over time (but still not bad, and still free).

Pros

Scaling rapidly, great place to be if you want to go through growing pains Great social aspect +benefits

Cons

Middle management not set up (critical- you can't really go to the VP to ask 'what should I be when I grow up') Great if you are early on in your career Not so great if you need direction or career advice Messy divide between a startup and a large hierarchical organization Messy internal movement processes
