Box

Like everywhere else, it has pros and cons. It really depends on your team and manager, but overall, a great place to work.

When I first joined, I was thrilled. Everything went great. I was excited to work, and I did, until I began to notice it's nearly impossible to launch or get anything done without jumping through several issues and loops.

Eventually, you realize you are working so hard with no progress to show for anything because you have spent most of your time fixing and defining things that should have already been in place.

Because of this, it's extremely easy to burn out here. Which is why I'm convinced most people don't stay here long at all (they claim to have normal attrition).

For a company as old as Box, they have tons to do internally, as they barely have processes in place, no clear direction for career growth, poor infrastructure, and very flaky management. Just look at the older comments or other review sites that go years back; it just seems it has always been this way here.

I was so excited to work here. I'm afraid I am starting to not like it, which is really sad because it has the best work culture I've ever experienced.

Read above for insight.

TLDR:

• Lack of career direction
• Management
• Poor infrastructure
• No processes
• Flaky management
• Chaotic startup feel environment at times

Pick a direction and stick to it. Invest in the infrastructure of the company if you really want increased productivity.
