Box reviews

The company's culture is rapidly going downhill. Leadership seems to be moving to make this place as dreary as possible, where people are purely judged based on their metrics rather than how well they actually do the work. Morale is in the toilet and it shows in the number of outages occurring. People are just going through the motions and the level of toxicity is rising daily. RTO is being slowly ramped up. We went from 2x to 3x this year, and it's mandatory - managers say they are given attendance data from our badges and if you're not in the office 3x/wk you will feel it at performance time. It's almost certain they're going to force 4x/wk this year. There used to be transport cost benefit, but that got thrown away. They also took away the quarterly mental health days this year. Benefits that are left are pretty pathetic compared to other valley companies, let alone "leading" ones, and there are fewer every year. Raises are pitiful, and stock refreshes are rare (and tiny when they happen). Seems like the company is quite happy to give people the equivalent of a huge pay cut after four years; are they hoping people will just leave? Promotions are also a grueling slog and even if you get the title they won't even pay you the money for months afterwards. Stealth layoff last year in the guise of realignment and culling of low performers. Leadership seems to either be absent or obsessively micro-managing projects. The CEO is buried in details, sitting in design meetings approving the appearance of buttons. Meanwhile we bounce from moonshot to moonshot in the hope of somehow appearing relevant in the AI bubble. The stock price keeps falling so it's not working, but it's depressing to watch and morale-sapping.

Can be choitic and a lot depends on in which team you ends up.
