Pros

Hard working coworkers, supportive HR and management--while I didnt feel like I had a lot of room to move up my manager still cared and tried. Really good health care and parental leave options. Free food in different capacities across the global offices. Commuter benefits, options to work from home when needed. Open Communication from higher ups.

Cons

Company is struggling to stay on top of a competitive market; therefore a lot of decisions are made hastily in an effort to increase revenue. The result is a lot of short term band-aids on processes that were rushed into execution. This also puts a lot of manual work onto the operational staff. Lastly, there was not a lot of room to grow; my work hardly changed over the three years I was there even with title changes. Biggest con is that employees are consistently underpaid in anything outside the sales department

Pros

Box continues to have a good culture. There is an excellent work life balance, unlimited vacation, free lunch, and good overall benefits. eStaff is well respected and comes across as open and approachable.

Cons

The company-wide focus is on becoming profitable and reducing costs. Hiring is slowing or has stopped completely in most teams. Teams are repeatedly asked to do more with less. Growth opportunities are becoming more limited. Mid-level leadership is spotty (lots of Director and VP level people have been leaving over the last year or two). In Box Consulting, there are some members of the senior leadership team that seem to be good at "playing the game" and managing up, but not making any real impact on their teams. New senior managers and directors are brought on, especially within the Growth and Strategy team, but they don't make any real impact and aren't respected internally. Constructive feedback on this team is not welcomed. Meanwhile, individual contributors are leaving and their positions aren't being backfilled but are being moved offshore (which some members of the leadership team are bragging about). Senior leadership within Box Consulting seems out of touch and uninterested in receiving feedback. The only priority is billable customer work - even if that means sacrificing efficiency and process improvements. BC is moving closer and closer to a traditional Consulting org, but they don't get comparable compensation. Time tracking is scrutinized, comments are required, and must be done daily. Monthly healthcare costs are high. There is no 401K matching even though people have been asking for this for years.
