      Engineers Beware...Don't Work Here - Software Engineer Box Employee Review

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Free"ish" food. Most people are helpful and nice. They pay pretty well. This is an acceptable place to work if you are young and inexperienced. Lots of opportunity to fix bugs. Lots of opportunity to make the code stable.

      Cons

      Box hires rather than promotes from within. Technology stack is on the verge of collapse. The engineering team is consumed with firefighting. The pay is not worth the poor (sometimes degrading) treatment by management and technical leadership. My manager talks about their reports and coworkers behind their backs. The founders have to be "handled," because they are incapable of accepting input from others.

      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.
