Pros

Box is a great Product with significant potential. The company invests significant effort in the company culture and to maintain the "Startup" attitude. With Aaron Levie and Dan Levin you will find diametral opposing characters as Top leaders which are very impressive. Overall it is a great company to work for.

Cons

Processes are sometimes even more complicated as in companies like IBM. There is significant management fluctuation, which has a major impact on the culture.

Box is a great place with an elitist attitude problem

Pros

All of the must have's for a Silicon Valley Start up. Hip building, free food, shuttles etc.

Cons

Missing "adult" benefits such as maternity leave that doesn't rely on the state to fund only a fraction of your salary. If your not coming out of Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Harvard or the like...Don't bother applying. They won't even look at your resume.

Pros

Great people Great office Transparent CEO (to some extent)

Cons

EMEA VP has clear favourites and trying to push others out the business. Just be honest with these people if they’re not a fit for you. No trust between EMEA leadership and AEs. Management want to be in on all opportunities but point fingers when it doesn’t close and take the credit when it does. Not a con but culture at Box was key however to get to the next phase of growth that needed to change and has and is changing to be a more metric driven - calls, meetings, pipeline etc. I get this is key but they need to understand culture will be lost and this needs to be accepted.
