A good place to work, not a good career.
Pros
-The benefits are truly great, I love having lunch brought in every day, and the snacks are great -The people, I do not believe there has been a single person at Box that I have met that I haven't liked so far. -If you do well there is potential to make decent money.
Cons
-very rigid promotion structure, the expectation is at month 12 you are promoted to another role. While this sounds great in theory one of the key drawbacks is this only works when the position you want is available otherwise you are pressured in to accepting whatever they have available (which is usually a territory of a rep that quit because they had a bad territory setting you up for quite the struggle if not failure) -Over half of your commission that you are paid and evaluated on is completely out of your control, your success and pay depends solely on which rep you support. -The current opportunity system does not create alignment between the teams, the Outbound Reps are clogging the sales funnels with fake opportunities so they can hit their quota making it difficult to accurately forecast deals and wasting the time of senior reps -The turn over is considerably higher than anyone will admit to. -Very few reps hit their quota.
