Pros

Ownership - I have complete control of my projects and feel like ownership The company is growing so fast there is amazing opportunity for advancement Technically, I am learning so fast and gaining valuable knowledge about scaling, security, and code architecture Work-hard, play-hard atmosphere. I genuinely enjoy company events. It's obvious that people love working here and feel invested in the company.

Cons

Box has all the problems that come with hypergrowth: on the one hand processes and organizations don't work the way they should. On the other hand, we're no longer the intimate company that we were before. Both are painful, but made worth it by the benefit

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
