Weak engineering leadership
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Los Altos, California, United States
October 18, 2015
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.
