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

- COO - Great culture - Lots of perks - free lunch, stocked kitchens, Caltrain passes, unlimited vacation - Lots of opportunity to grow - Near train station

Cons

A few months ago I would have said operational efficiency is lacking in some orgs. Over the past couple of months leadership has focused on this area and it has already improved a great deal.
