Pros

Great culture, competitive pay, fast paced environment with solid leadership that is open to listening to employees to improve work experience. Everyone from CEO on down are willing to get involved in your deals to ensure you're successful. Truly a great place to work.

Cons

We are still growing at a rapid pace which brings its own set of challenges but compared to working at a large company, this is a far better experience. Some of the promotion paths are strict-- meaning reps need to be promoted to specific roles first before moving on to the next even when they are more qualified than outside candidates for open position.

Box is HORRIBLE

Pros

Aaron Levie is fantastic in front of customers (as long as the meeting is in the afternoon and he has had his nap) Benefits are great if you work at Box HQ. Free breakfast, lunch and dinner plus all the snacks you could ever want! The Box product works as advertised The cloud ecosystem is the place to be and Box is in the center of it

Cons

The Box culture. Box loves to talk about how great their culture is, however, it is very hard to fit into this cliquish culture if you are a new employee. The employees who have been there a long time don't really have any other experience besides Box. But, if it's not the Box way, then it's the highway! Not open to new or fresh ideas from the outside Benefits. Yes, free meals are nice but there are no real benefits such as a matching 401K. Benefits are only given to employees that work at Box HQ. If you are remote, forget about it. Leadership. There simply is none. Box is spending a lot of money (marketing) trying to make the company look like it's a great place to work. There has been a mass exodus over the last year due to the fact that it is simply not a fun place to work. Yes, the stock is a dog but that's not why employees are leaving. Employees simply don't get treated fairly as their management has not done the job before, thus, don't know how to manage effectively. Aaron Levie is a plus for Box but he is not a CEO. He needs to be put into another role within the company and a true CEO should be hired that can make the company profitable and help it be seen beyond just a circus show.

Pros

Very interesting technical challenges. A lot of space for career development. Flexible schedules, high salaries, unlimited vacation, free food and shuttles. The culture is great.

Cons

I actually don't see any, so it is really hard to put 20 words in this section :)
