Good upside ruined..
Box has good work-life balance, okay pay, and is generally a decent job for the valley.
There was no direction in product or engineering during the time I was there. There was huge turnover, which was shocking since the general work-life balance is really good. A lot of the higher-ranked people are more interested in self-preservation than results. The promotion rubric is very non-result oriented, which leads to a lot of bad senior leadership who then invent a new rubric.
Consider putting in some actual KPIs for teams and letting go of some of the old-timers.
