Pros

Great people on the whole- minimal ego, super smart, and friendly colleagues. Cool office and food. Genuinely great product. There's some amazing vision everywhere you look.

Cons

Attrition has become a very serious problem. Dozens leaving every month- particularly A players who are being recruited by other companies with much better salaries. The compensation issues are getting worse (paying employees in stock was extremely tone deaf), internal mobility policies block advancement more often than they support it, and most of the orgs have very limited IC advancement opportunities. Most of the people who leave aren't disgruntled... they're conflicted. They love Box, but the lack of advancement and the grossly below market salaries force them out. Then they poach their high performing friends.

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.
