Pros: Great compensation, flexible work schedule, exciting projects, and bright, cooperative engineers.

Cons: Over the last few years, Box has successfully brought in some very strong people with vast technical/leadership experience. These individuals were a head above existing middle managers. Respect for leadership dwindled, and upper management reacted by promoting the managers who had lost the backing of their more senior reports up the corporate ladder, away from dealing with actual projects and developers, where they were doing even more damage.

Pros: - Very smart and capable coworkers to learn from. - Transparency from management about goals and direction of the company. - No micromanagement; engineers are trusted to do the right thing.

Cons: Box is growing rapidly and is somewhat understaffed, which means there is a lot of work to be done.

Pros: - Lots of room to stretch your legs and take initiative. - Excellent engineers working on hard problems in all corners of the engineering org. - Very product-focused. - The company has a clear vision and it's well-communicated by the management. - Lots of great managers that care about their teams deeply. - Excellent benefits and perks.

Cons: Lots of technical debt that piles up. Sometimes too product-focused; long-standing problems don't get resolved. Teams are unevenly balanced. Some teams are jam-packed with very senior engineers, and some are exclusively junior engineers. Very strong NIH attitude. Third-party solutions are often rejected for silly reasons. Lots of internal tension between teams, especially around resources. Managers can get extremely territorial over engineer time and even code.
