Lots of Pros, but attrition is becoming a state of emergency

Pros

Great people on the whole- minimal ego, super smart, and friendly colleagues. Cool office and food. Genuinely great product. There's some amazing vision everywhere you look.

Cons

Attrition has become a very serious problem. Dozens leaving every month- particularly A players who are being recruited by other companies with much better salaries. The compensation issues are getting worse (paying employees in stock was extremely tone deaf), internal mobility policies block advancement more often than they support it, and most of the orgs have very limited IC advancement opportunities. Most of the people who leave aren't disgruntled... they're conflicted. They love Box, but the lack of advancement and the grossly below market salaries force them out. Then they poach their high performing friends.

Good product, poor management

Pros

Product is wonderful: it gives you mobile productivity, period! I still use it and love it.

Cons

New things crept up your plate, not because competitive landscape creates the need, but internal politics. Some egoistic individuals found a way to latch on to C-level management, and would overturn other teams' work-plans, simply because they preemptively convinced C-level management.

Cons

- Lots of focus on stuff that doesn't matter - Highly political for such a small company - Culture suffering due to "new guard" post IPO
