Pros

I left Box for personal reasons, not because of anything wrong there, and now that I'm going through a new job search I realize what a cool place it was! Engineering management has good leadership and works really hard for its teams health. A lot of emphasis on doing the right thing. Tons of hard problems to solve

Cons

Engineering projects are daunting in the face of technical debt, compliance/security requirements, and disjointed direction from PMs.
