Pros

Undeniably, the most fun, positive, rewarding, and life-changing place I've ever worked at.

Cons

Sometimes they focus too much on making this place the funnest place on Earth, and they fail to execute.

Advice to Management

Sometimes it is okay to not protect the culture and to execute on behalf of the investors. This will make it an uncomfortable place every once in a while.

Although I would rather work here for the rest of my life because of the culture, the lack of execution and process is unsustainable and will lead to a company that will be known for free food and wacky employees and not its products.

From what I understand, the company is growing up. If I were a competitor, I would watch out.

I would love to come back and work for Box in the future.

If the employees only knew what they had there, they would work even harder to succeed and ensure the longevity and viability of Box.
