Pros

- Box's culture is really unique. It's extremely rare to find a company that genuinely practices and embodies their core values. - I get to be myself at work - Content... is that cool? Kinda. Is powering how the world works together around content cool? YES! That's what you'll be doing at Box no matter which org you're in. - Magnetic and empowering leadership from our executive team - Executive leadership actively seeks opportunities to educate employees with a high amount of transparency - Box is a company that genuinely cares about the betterment of the world, not just in the areas that content touches - Promotion comes to those who work hard, live out our values, perform and bring out the best in others and not based on politics - Micromanaging is generally not practiced - Box really trusts their people who commonly go above and beyond to do what's best for each other and our customers - I've never worked with better customers - very fun to work with - No one is a jerk, it's actually astounding to not be able to name one at the company - Work/Life blend support is near utopian - The benefits are incredible - Every manager I've had has accelerated my professional growth - I'm able to continue to do my best work at Box

Cons

- There are a lot of meetings at Box, some meetings feel unnecessary and could be solved with an email/messages in Slack - No 401k matching, but the company has a generous ESPP and the equity package is very attractive - There aren't as many structured professional development opportunities compared to other companies (e.g. no leadership development program) - The company is able to respond with startup agility, which is actually a pro, however things can move extremely fast - so change management isn't as smooth as it could be sometimes

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.
