Box is not a great place to work anymore

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture (but how its getting diluted) Good work life balance Some managers do care about employees

Cons

No equivalent refreshers (stocks) even if you are performing good (based on yearly review) at your current level (I am not talking about next level). So basically after 4 years your TC is going to be less. Managers are valued more in my team. In my team only manager's birthdays and joining anniversaries get celebrated with kudo boards etc. Promotions: I see that some teams have lenient promotions vs some have very strict. If you want to join, try to join new, less established team where you will have better chance to get promoted. If you are on IC track, it's really hard to get promoted. While if you are in manager track it will be better. Also I have seen the trend that people who are bold, good at presentation and keep themself's in limelight have better chance for promotion. Overall Box is not a great place to work anymore.

Pros

This company has so many nice benefits, like basically having a free gym membership. Its pretty nice. The people I'v met during my first few months have all been super kind, and always offer to help. The atmosphere overall is really chill, and there are so many fun interest groups to join, so there's really something for everyone. They also have a lot of opportunities to volunteer and give back to the community .

Cons

Unfortunately, they don't 401k match. Some stages of the onboarding process were made difficult as a returning employee, much more so than just coming in as a new employee. Not so much a con, but I have noticed that most new hires are not fresh graduates so it is a bit daunting for interns to be one of the few employees coming into the company with less than 3 years of industry experience.
