Pros

- Company culture & values were previously huge pro's but that's now rapidly declining - Lot of smart, supportive teammates within the company depending on the team - Easygoing, stable work if you are just looking to coast

Cons

- A previously great company culture is in a major decline. Values and culture are no longer taken seriously and the company mainly cares about the bottom line. Morale seems to be getting worse & a lot of tenured employees are leaving the company because of this. This is pretty obvious based on just overall sentiment internally and even the other reviews on here. - Growth is and has always been single-digits, leadership always uses "FX Headwinds" as an excuse. Stock pretty much never goes up despite major investments in stock buybacks. If/when growth doesn't re-accelerate with this AI boom and marketing then it likely never will. - No 401k match. Benefits consistently being removed - Pay is definitely lower than other comparable software/tech companies. - Mediocre merit & equity increases. Even if you get merit or promo, the increase isn't even effective until August when it happens in April. If you stay a long time you'll hit a cliff and be way under band. - CEO micromanages and constantly chasing the next shiny object instead of keeping a focused growth strategy (see Box Relay, Box AI, Box Sign, I could go on for a while) - RTO is steadily increasing, likely 4 days this year and every day the next. Difficult to be remote if you're a new joiner - If you're a people manager, expect any attrition or backfill to go to Warsaw. The time zone differences and presence in Warsaw will give you lots of early or late meetings too. - Box pinches pennies, expect cost-cutting measures across your team frequently - A lot of Boxers are just coasting and here to cash a check, which can make it difficult to get things done or progress if you actually take your work and career progression seriously

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
