      Not as exciting or fun as it was in early "startup" years

      Staff software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Close to IPO. Free food. Very young and hip atmosphere if you're just out of college. Benefits are pretty good.

      Cons

      Culture is not much fun if you happen to get stuck working closely with the founders inner circle in the engineering organization. They're not very good and tend to be an odd combination of autocratic and randomizing so you feel like you're being micro-managed and dumbed down when working with them. Work life balance is not very good compared with other similar stage companies. Building is already packed to capacity (they moved in just over year ago.) Company has big bias toward hiring young out of college.

      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

      Amazing people, working together, to build a creative product.

      Software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Super smart people. Very open communication, both between developers and management. Developers trust each other. Super fun. Really encouraged to speak up, be a part of the team. Encouraged to seek out challenges. Encouraged to take ownership. You are encouraged to take time to think about where you want to grow. Management will then work with you to get you there. Hard work is recognized, both in company wide meetings and in benefits/rewards. I can honestly say that this is an amazing environment. If you are a smart, hard working, trustworthy and love challenges, then your will be very fulfilled at Box.

      Cons

      No matching 401k. The lunches could be better.
