Box

• Competency and culture at the IC level are great.
• Work/life balance is great.
• Compensation is competitive.

• Leadership doesn't seem to know how to grow the company anymore. Frequent pivots in product direction with little validation before and after launch.
• The promo process can be frustrating and disappointing.
• Large churn in the eng org.

The current leadership has failed to move the company forward. The surge in WFH population during COVID-19 was the perfect opportunity for Box to launch into user growth and engagement, but that didn't happen. If Box isn't sold to another company, Box should really consider replacing its top-level executives. The current executives were successful in growing a start-up to IPO, which is impressive and commendable, but they are failing at taking Box to the next stage.

There are so many key engineers that have left the org that I think it'll be nearly impossible for the company to recover.
