Pros

Box is a wonderful company. There are amazing people that work here and I don't have a single doubt in my mind that Box will continue to become a large and successful Silicon Valley company. I've never come across a company with such a positive work culture, with so many like-minded passionate individuals, and with a meaningful purpose-driven mission to change the world. Aaron Levie is a unique character and it is no surprise Box is where it is at today because of him. Will be exciting to follow the ongoing journey of Box in the years to come.

Cons

They say people don't leave companies, they leave managers. And I'd have to truthfully admit that. Don't get me wrong, my manager was a wonderful person and genuinely tried his best to make my experience at Box one of the greatest (he really is a beautiful individual), but it was also his major gap as a leader. His focus was lost in a myriad of efforts to make Box great as a whole, but I think he lost sight on what it took to build the individuals that worked directly for him. From what I understand from individuals that worked for him in the past, it was for the same reason why they also moved on to other teams or companies. But this is quite common for leaders when they've only been at one company their entire career. Lack of experience generally.
