Pros
Box used to have an amazing culture, but is still generally a good place to work. Perks are pretty standard for tech companies (still no 401K match which is surprising), but the people you work with are awesome, several talented people across sales, marketing, product, engineering, etc. The product is the best in the space, which makes it easier to believe in the long-term success of the company. Aaron is an incredible person and product visionary and makes the company feel like a family.
Cons
Our executive level changes have brought some important operational changes for the better, but have started to drastically erode the culture that made Box such a great place to be. Even though Box is a flat organization, the executive team seems totally in the dark on what things feel like at the ground level. Targets continue to get higher without a proportional increase in enablement or headcount and it's stretching all aspects of the company. While many tech companies hire smart people and get out of their way, Box hires smart people and then subjects them to micromanagement from the higher ups. Good ideas or logical anecdotes are often dismissed while the company continues to pursue strong numbers for the market. In general, the CRO is an extremely aggressive, egotistical addition to the e-staff team and has a lot of people worried about Box's culture and what it means to work here.
