Pros

Good pay and benefits. Fun office culture. Lots of opportunity to get involved in big projects, in open source, etc.

Cons

Office location is pretty bad. We're moving to a new location which should be an improvement. Lots of tech debt. Hard to tell if code quality is improving or getting worse. Engineering ladder still needs work. Half of the org is "senior software engineer".

Pros

Great product. Outshines the competition. Has amazing brand recognition. Backed by tier 1 investors. Freemium to paid-for is a great model, easy to find prospective customers, a bit of a challenge to sell enterprise-wide.

Cons

Upper-level mgt has little to no respect for field sales. However, the biggest issue is that there are far too many reps in the geo territories. The model is basically, one to two reps make all the money, the majority struggle, and a few at the bottom starve...and either quit or are put on plan. Understandably, Box is in an extremely crowded market, so it requires an inordinately high number of reps on the street to overcome all the competitive noise, but in the end, it's the reps who struggle to make it work.

Pros

- Friendly people and experts coming from HQ regularly to explain technology and optimise process - Food, salary and benefits

Cons

- No strategy at all to approach European markets, counting only on potential leads to develop their footprint on the market. - No EU datacenter - Startup culture lost in Europe
