Solid 4 years - you don't realise until after you've gone

Business Outlook

Pros

Box was without doubt one of the best companies I have ever worked for from a cultural, work-life balance and learning perspective. The offices were heavily invested in and employee perks were good (in-office lunches every day), lots of parties celebrating events throughout the year as well as all quarter ends etc. Good Christmas parties. The Box offering is excellent too, get yourself a good sales patch in here and you'll have it good.

Cons

The challenges and turnover I did experience around me was largely due to the space Box addresses, it's selling the premium product in a very saturated space. The prospect needs to really care and be bought into Box's more advanced security and compliance features to get sizeable business done.

Not the best workplace ever

Business Outlook

Pros

- free lunches - lots of optional activities after working hours to join

Cons

- crazy working hours (10:00-18:00 + unpaid overtime because of late meetings) - preference to hire externally when it comes to staff+ engineering roles (in Poland 0 people were promoted to this level so far) - for first year of work your personal development is ignored (you have to work at least one year to get a promotion and a promotion cycle happens only once a year so management doesn't bother with you earlier) - no clear vision what people from Poland products should deliver, how teams should cooperate with each other etc - switched from remote to hybrid - monolith in php and no OKRs/plans to clean it up and/or remove
