Pros

Workplace definitely cares about its employees, low levels of office politics, delicious free food. Work is challenging in a good way, but not overwhelming or stressful.

Cons

Engineering department can have disorganized leadership and cross-team collaboration can be hampered by poor communication. Product strategy emphasizes new features over having a good experience using existing features. User experience using Box has a lot of gaps.

Pros

Great place to grow your career. The people here are amazingly helpful and there's a real spirit of teamwork. The internal communication is fantastic, I know exactly what's going on within the company, the product roadmap, strategies, etc. Previously, I've worked at companies that did NOT share this level of information and it's refreshing to have that at Box. The values are very clear and the company does a great job trying to promote those values throughout the organization and live up to the values. I must say that Box does a great job showing the value it places on employees, it was one of the things that I picked up during the hiring process and was reflected in my offer (not just the offer itself, but the communication behind the offer). That made my decision to come here super easy as that can be really hard to find in a company with 2K plus employees and growing!

Cons

Sometimes, the "fun" that is injected in the corporate meetings is a bit over the top, IMHO, but I understand that this is a young company and the culture reflects that. I'm not really saying this is a hard "con", but something to be aware of...honestly for many this is a "pro" as it does promote a level of levity as part of the culture.
