weak engineering leadership

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation, flexible work schedule, exciting projects, bright, cooperative engineers.

Cons

Over the last few years Box has successfully brought in some very strong people with vast technical/leadership experience. These were a head above existing middle managers. Respect for leadership dwindled, and upper management reacted by promoting the managers who have lost backing of their more senior reports up the corporate ladder, away from dealing with actual project and developers where they are doing even more damage.
