Good pay & work-life balance, but some questionable management decisions.
Good pay & work-life balance, but some questionable management decisions.
The pay is quite competitive for a non-FAANG company, and the company mostly encourages a great work-life balance. I could go to the gym at lunch several times a week, and for the most part, my manager didn't care where I was as long as I was present in meetings and finishing my sprint tasks.
The culture is a bit boring, and the management leaves something to be desired. Core engineering teams are understaffed and underfunded; the Sales org is really where most of Box's investment lies. Most of Box's scaling issues are a result of this poor prioritization from the top level down.
If you want to retain talent, hire more people for the teams that build the core infrastructure pieces of the product.

Five rounds of algorithms and data structures, retrospective and behavioral questions to assess culture fit. I did well on the retrospective but did not do good in other rounds. It is a fairly detailed process.
