- A previously great company culture is in a major decline. Values and culture are no longer taken seriously and the company mainly cares about the bottom line. Morale seems to be getting worse & a lot of tenured employees are leaving the company because of this. This is pretty obvious based on just overall sentiment internally and even the other reviews on here.
- Growth is and has always been single-digits, leadership always uses "FX Headwinds" as an excuse. Stock pretty much never goes up despite major investments in stock buybacks. If/when growth doesn't re-accelerate with this AI boom and marketing then it likely never will.
- No 401k match. Benefits consistently being removed
- Pay is definitely lower than other comparable software/tech companies.
- Mediocre merit & equity increases. Even if you get merit or promo, the increase isn't even effective until August when it happens in April. If you stay a long time you'll hit a cliff and be way under band.
- CEO micromanages and constantly chasing the next shiny object instead of keeping a focused growth strategy (see Box Relay, Box AI, Box Sign, I could go on for a while)
- RTO is steadily increasing, likely 4 days this year and every day the next. Difficult to be remote if you're a new joiner
- If you're a people manager, expect any attrition or backfill to go to Warsaw. The time zone differences and presence in Warsaw will give you lots of early or late meetings too.
- Box pinches pennies, expect cost-cutting measures across your team frequently
- A lot of Boxers are just coasting and here to cash a check, which can make it difficult to get things done or progress if you actually take your work and career progression seriously
