Good upside ruined...

Business Outlook

Pros

Box has good work life balance, okay pay, and is generally a decent job for the valley.

Cons

No direction in product or engineering during the time I was there. Huge turnover which was shocking since the general work-life is really good. A lot of the higher ranked people are more interested in self-preservation than results. Very non-result oriented promotion rubric which leads to a lot of bad senior leadership who then invent a new rubric.

weak engineering leadership

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation, flexible work schedule, exciting projects, bright, cooperative engineers.

Cons

Over the last few years Box has successfully brought in some very strong people with vast technical/leadership experience. These were a head above existing middle managers. Respect for leadership dwindled, and upper management reacted by promoting the managers who have lost backing of their more senior reports up the corporate ladder, away from dealing with actual project and developers where they are doing even more damage.
