Pros

Box was my second place of employment out of college and I've been here almost 4 years now. The culture is really phenomenal especially on the sales side of the house. There is a strong sense of community among coworkers and people really do want to see you succeed vs. hyper-competitive sales cultures. Additionally there are tons of resources around ERGS and room to grow with your career with upward mobility. The management in particular has really show their true colors during Covid-19. Aaron's leadership and generosity through out this pandemic has made me feel 100% secure in my job. Which in turn has allowed me to focus on what is really important and that is my customers and doing my job well. Management has also been extremely transparent and hosting weekly 1:1 fireside chats with various executives and the sales team members to share their own experiences in their roles and how we can translate that to benefit our customers. I also would say after a number of years our product offering is finally rounding out its suite offering to better compete with the larger traditional ECM players and better differentiate ourselves from basic files sharing.

Cons

No 401K Matching, Stock performance mediocre over the years, competitive market

Pros

The culture is incredible here! I have smart, driven, supportive colleagues and managers that have pushed me out of my comfort zone and as a result, accelerated my career. I've been able to go beyond my immediate responsibilities and build on other skill sets that helped make me a more well rounded professional. During my time at Box, leadership up to the exec level has been transparent and shown that they truly care about their employees. There are a ton of perks & benefits including free lunches, Caltrain passes, unlimited PTO and great healthcare options.

Cons

There is no 401k match.

Pros

An absolutely great place to work, Box truly cares about their employees and the Sales Org continues to drive a ton of success year over year There is a ton of emphasis on your career path and very strong internal promotion strategy. The product has finally started to hit strides and that strategy is more coherent Great work-life balance and very hands on approach from C-Suite

Cons

Competitive landscape against Microsoft and Google can make it challenging at times. Lack of marketing over the years has made brand an issue. Lots of management turnover and continued departures. Stock price has little to no success. No matching 401K and compensation is lower than industry peers
