Pros

Leadership identifies potential and helps employees grow; culture is incredibly open and supportive; plenty of opportunities for those who are ready to take risks and accept challenges in their career.

Cons

Personal experiences within the company can vary rather greatly depending on what team you are on and who your VP and/or executive staff member is.

Pros

After working at other market-leading companies over the course of 13+ years, including Salesforce, I can honestly say Box has something special. The culture is unlike anything I've experienced before. The people at Box are highly talented, hard working, and extremely humble. They check their egos at the door and pitch in to help one another.....so refreshing! It really feels like we are all in this together and rowing in the same direction. On the leadership and technology fronts, I've never seen the kind of access to leadership and product like we have at Box. We truly have the ability to influence the future roadmap and serve as a strong voice for the customer. Box is recognized as the leader in the cloud content management space by all the major analyst firms for a reason. The current and future innovation coming out of Box is visionary and leading the way. Leadership, including the exec team, take a very active role in engaging with Boxers and with customers....it's pretty impressive.

Cons

Box is very nimble which is typically a strength. On occasion, there are areas that could benefit from a bit more structure and process.

Pros

Box is a company full of hardworking, fast paced, smart people. I think it's the type of company culture you don't ever forget and it's been one of the best companies I've worked at. The leadership team is really cohesive and has a clear vision for Box. Managers are also really thoughtful of career development for teams and honestly, the nicest teams I've worked with. Given the landscape we're in now, our products are also positioned well to win in the market which is a HUGE selling point for our company. Our engineers are phenomenal and our teams really know how to work together.

Cons

There are times when management and leadership can make decisions too quickly and end up having to re-evaluate some of those decisions down the line which impact employees and their work. On the flip side, sometimes decisions don't have a driver which end up holding up processes and procedures which happens in any company. The product line is also relatively complex at first but messaging has been much more simplified over time which I hope will continue to drive the sales cycle in an easier or more digestible way!
