Pros

- Good product recognised as a leader in many categories - Access to best-of-breed tools - Supportive of diversity and minorities - Good tech-industry perks - Gorgeous office (The teams are shrinking so much that I doubt they’ll be able to keep it for long)

Cons

- At least 4 of the 2020 EMEA Glassdoor reviews are clear Marketing / HR driven posts - They have openly approached managers asking for them! - They don't live the corporate values at all making them simple words, not actions employees are held accountable for - Very unsupportive of diversity of opinion - Sales and leadership seem to be exempt from any rules, being allowed countless behaviours and attitudes other teams would fire for - Too many long tenure employees showing little to no value - Disturbing high levels of gossiping (both among individual contributors and management!) - Very high rates of employee turnover (teams are shrinking very fast and departing employees are not being replaced aside from Sales) - Very high workload due to the above - In general, a very unstable work environment outside of HQ with lack of direction and a clear “brush things under the carpet” attitude

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. It is great to hear you recognize that Box is supportive of diversity and minorities, bring your ____ self to work is a value that we live and breath. Whilst there are always areas to improve, during FY20 we saw all time high levels of internal mobility and diversity hiring, we are delighted to see new Boxers across the business thrive in their roles. If you would like to confidentially share your "advice to management comments" with our EMEA People team, we would love to hear your thoughts on how to improve organisational engagement.

Pros

lots of perks: free lunch, snacks, caltrain pass, gym membership, swings, slides etc etc so you will think work is fun

Cons

unskilled, clueless management horrible communication from top to bottom: employees don't know what's going on or what's coming most of the time very strong hierarchy
