Pros

+ great industry and lots of excitement about cloud + Incentives and great working environment + friendly and driven coworkers, and a really fun culture + brand new office with major expansion already and continued growth expected ( there is a slide from the 2nd to 1st floor) Even better than the amenities at the office, the team environment and general energy at Box is very positive. + lots of opportunities for growth within the company, hard work and results are rewarded and recognized

Cons

- depending on your role you may work longer hours - I would not point to any other downsides, the company is extermely focused on maintaining company culture during this hyper growth, and keeping staff motivated and happy.

Pros

Nice and smart colelagues depending on the team, good WLB

Cons

leadership needs to start being honest. They keep freezeing payrises in Engineeging across all countries except Poland. Forcing people to quit and move the headcount to Poland instead of letting people go with dignity, severance and admit they are doing layoffs.

Pros

Fair compensation. Emphasizing ownership. Cross team communication. Helpful co-workers.

Cons

Constructive feedback is non-existent. You are usually disregarded with only "Sorry for the low raise, keep up the good work. See you next year." Nothing to really work with. Also unkept promises from management. Managers don't give a damn about you if you don't cause problems. Unless you are a close friend of theirs. It's better to break something and fix it later than to prevent it, because you'll be praised more that way. Questionable design decisions that result in missed deadlines, but no one is held accountable. Chaos in high- and middle-level management. Decisions are made at the last minute, without consulting stakeholders. Global decisions that affect the whole company even if countries work differently. If you're looking for a job where you can do the bare minimum and collect a paycheck, Box is the perfect place. If you want to tackle difficult problems and grow as a person, look elsewhere.
