Pros

There are so few companies these days that actually bring their values into every day work, and Box is one of them. We are encouraged to be owners, to take risks and fail fast, and to bring our blank selves to work (amongst others). I have never worked at a company like Box where my ideas are not just heard, but valued and encouraged to be put into use. Everyone, from the most senior leadership down, is transparent in what is happening and what the goals of the company are. The company takes extra care in ensuring we, as employees, are well taken care of in our every day lives in and out of the office. And sure, the benefits of days off to volunteer and for your birthday and free lunches are great, but the benefits that are most impactful to your life outside of Box are what matter the most.

Cons

Very few, I think just continue the transparency or maybe even a little more on what the future holds.

Pros

Great people and a great product. You'll have access to a ton of resources to be successful, but it will require focus and it won't just "come" to you - you'll have to jump in, and Box does a fantastic job of recognizing and supporting you when you do. You'll be exposed to all kinds of use-cases and customers, good and bad, that will push you to the next level on a professional, technical, and personal level. Lastly, Aaron is as great of a leader as they come - he's as honest and transparent as you can be when managing a public company.

Cons

It's not easy - understanding the product, aligning it to value based use-cases, engaging with customers, finding the right internal alliance - it's all hard, and can be a challenge if you're remote. The pressure from competitors exacerbates all of this as well. Box is the outright best product on the market but it's also 2x or 3x the cost. We can lose focus sometimes as a result of external pressure but if you have the right attitude and perseverance it will be worth the ride.

Pros

Leadership is quick to take action and adjust to changing market conditions. The people @ Box are the best - and while there are always some employees that are resistant to change - we can trust that our leadership team is approaching things with the best intent.

Cons

There's no 401(k) match, which is a frequent employee ask - however, when you look at the full compensation package employees have great benefits.
