- Relaxed work environment
- Pace is slow, not a lot of urgency generally
- Interesting technical problems when I joined, but given recent technology shifts this may no longer be the case
- The pay to work ratio is good, even though you may be below market slightly
Cons
- Lack of career growth. The promotion process was difficult to navigate and the requirements were unclear
- Restructuring and churn, every year I worked here I had a new manager
-
- Kind people.
- Supportive working environment.
- Competitive compensation.
- Great perks.
- One of the few remaining tech companies truly focused on employee wellbeing.
- No layoffs despite challenging internal and external headwinds. Sacrifices have been made by leadership teams to ensure this.
- No one can hide, everyone is expected to deliver at a high standard.
Cons
- Work-life balance.
- Often confusing and constantly changing strategy in EMEA.
- Sales is desperate for pipeline and this pressure is pushed onto functions which should be focused on longer-term initiatives/projects as well as customer success.
- Box is an amazing product which sits in a crowded software category that is seldom seen as a priority for IT leaders. It is difficult to see how Box (for which you pay a high premium) will continue competing against Microsoft, Google and what they call ‘legacy’ ECM vendors.
