      Great for fresh grads, but lack growth opportunities for experienced engineers

      Pros

      * Good work life balance: Engineers usually come to work at 10am and leave around 6pm * Great benefits for employees with kids * People are friendly, collaborative & laid-back * Good pay comparing to other startups in the Valley

      Cons

      * Lack of growth opportunities: Meaty projects are rare, and they are given to selected few engineers. Not an issue for fresh grads, but for experienced engineers, if you couldn't get the project you need for growth/engagement, you'll get pretty worn out with grunt tasks when you hit your anniversary. Career dev plan process is in place to help with the issue, but its effectiveness highly depends on the team, and the relationship you have with your manager. * Lack of transparency on merit increase: Performance review doesn't always get reflected in merit increase. Even if you have a good review, your merit increase could be nominal.

      Great growth, opportunity is absolutely there but challenging!

      Pros

      Great food, fantastic visibility into leadership, access to senior executives is unlike anything I've ever seen! Aaron is possibly one of the best CEOs out there, and his vision is very strong. He has almost a reality distortion field like Steve Jobs, and is brilliant! We're constantly providing upgrades to benefits, like paid time off for new families, etc. Box has an amazing metric they track: how many filled job roles for senior positions were from internal hires/transfers? That's huge in my book. The executive team goes out of their way to ensure there's full clarity on Box's mission, it's trajectory, and everything in between.

      Cons

      As the company grows, there's been some increases in politics here and there. It's not widespread, seems to be by org which is good. Every company will have politics - every company. Box can definitely do a better job at making it easier in some orgs (again, not all!!!) to get promoted. A few orgs have shown a decrease in merit-based recognition in favor of, well, favoritism. It's unfortunate, but to err is human right?

      Pros

      The culture is amazing! There are happy hours, the ability to work from home, the employees are really sharp and friendly. Management listens to concerns and does their very best to address them.

      Cons

      The only con is that it could be more diverse like all of tech. There aren't very many people of color but everyone treats each other with respect so it makes it a lot better.
