Love it here!

Pros

I love the culture here. Everyone is super nice and supportive. I received plenty of training for my role and was set up for success. I am given lots of opportunities to grow and I am listened to when I have ideas or goals for the future. I love the flexibility of working from home, but the people in Chicago make going to the office something to look forward to. I can always trust my managers to support and look out for me. I can close my laptop at the end of the day and live my life outside of work with no expectations outside of working hours or anxiety. And also the job is just fun!

Cons

My salary is not the easiest to live on in Chicago. It seems like they pay everyone relatively well, and I know that my salary is decent for this role so I'm very grateful, but it would still be nice if even the most entry level positions were paid enough to afford the cost of living here.

Pros

The youth and enthusiasm, and their pockets have really good people. Are detached from a good portion of what actually is happening in the organization.

Cons

The company promotes its values as a core business driver, but it doesn't actually show up to support its employees in particular, those from marginalized communities

Pros

Box used to have an amazing culture, but is still generally a good place to work. Perks are pretty standard for tech companies (still no 401K match which is surprising), but the people you work with are awesome, several talented people across sales, marketing, product, engineering, etc. The product is the best in the space, which makes it easier to believe in the long-term success of the company. Aaron is an incredible person and product visionary and makes the company feel like a family.

Cons

Our executive level changes have brought some important operational changes for the better, but have started to drastically erode the culture that made Box such a great place to be. Even though Box is a flat organization, the executive team seems totally in the dark on what things feel like at the ground level. Targets continue to get higher without a proportional increase in enablement or headcount and it's stretching all aspects of the company. While many tech companies hire smart people and get out of their way, Box hires smart people and then subjects them to micromanagement from the higher ups. Good ideas or logical anecdotes are often dismissed while the company continues to pursue strong numbers for the market. In general, the CRO is an extremely aggressive, egotistical addition to the e-staff team and has a lot of people worried about Box's culture and what it means to work here.
