Vantaggi

Your coworkers are a group of intelligent, caring individuals who truly value hard work and teamwork. Box is a good company that has potential to be great.

Svantaggi

I say this from a place of pure bias, but the Austin sales team is in shambles. I cannot speak to the California teams, who seem to be doing well (either that or they're great fakers!). I came on thinking, "This is it, this is where I will kick off an incredible career in sales! I am going to kick butt and learn so much doing it."- FALSE. I 100% blame this on management. There was little to no training and the quota was completely ambiguous. Meanwhile, you're being told if you work hard there is endless room for growth in Austin and in your sales career at Box; this was also false. There is literally no where to go but out. As I said above, your coworkers are amazing people, Box really does know how to hire. They do not, however, know how to hire/promote good managers and that is why this team is failing. This may seem like the rantings of a disgruntled employee, but if you need further confirmation of Box Austin's failings, there are 6 others (out of 10) who quit the Austin sales team in the last 3 months.

Thank you for your review. We definitely read these reviews and exit responses. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to discuss and address this feedback while you were still at Box. We take this feedback very seriously. The OBR role is one of the toughest sales roles. You are on the front lines of our sales org and cold calling new companies. We know you don't want to do this role forever. We have started to expand our career path in Austin by promoting several reps into Channel Sales and expanding our AE presence in the office. I want to ensure my management team is doing everything to make the team successful. I've hosted meetings with all OBRs in the role 3+ months to gather feedback about the Austin office, management and the role. Since then we've standardized metrics, multi-office collaboration and implemented an outbound specific onboarding program.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
