Pros

-Great culture starting from top down -CEO gets it. Has been a driving force for change in collaboration -Product just works. Once you use it, you will see why other solutions stink -Great office environment if at HQ.

Cons

-Very clicky within certain groups at HQ -Majority of field sales not happy with top leadership. Not listening and not delivering what is needed for a while now. Constantly heard this over and over supporting the reps.... -Overhired in the field and tried to make this into Salesforce.com. Change the approach and hire the right senior exec to instill a better field sales culture -Just a few field reps make good $$$, rest struggle but nobody cares at exec level or sales exec mgmt

Pros

Great product. Outshines the competition. Has amazing brand recognition. Backed by tier 1 investors. Freemium to paid-for is a great model, easy to find prospective customers, a bit of a challenge to sell enterprise-wide.

Cons

Upper-level mgt has little to no respect for field sales. However, the biggest issue is that there are far too many reps in the geo territories. The model is basically, one to two reps make all the money, the majority struggle, and a few at the bottom starve...and either quit or are put on plan. Understandably, Box is in an extremely crowded market, so it requires an inordinately high number of reps on the street to overcome all the competitive noise, but in the end, it's the reps who struggle to make it work.
