Good pay & work life balance but some questionable management decisions

Pros
The pay is quite competitive for a non-FAANG company, and the company mostly encourages a great work-life balance. I could go to the gym at lunch several times a week, and for the most part, my manager didn't care where I was as long as I was present in meetings and finishing my sprint tasks.
Cons
The culture is a bit boring, and the management leaves something to be desired. Core engineering teams are understaffed and underfunded - the Sales org is really where most of Box's investment lies. Most of Box's scaling issues are as a result of this poor prioritization from the top level down.
