Software Engineer • Current Employee
Los Altos, California, United States
March 26, 2013
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.
The 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.
