Great Culture!

Pros

A very strong culture of rallying against objectives. Highly collaborative teams, that go above and beyond to accomplish goals. People are very open, and honest, and there's an opportunity to really be yourself. If you join Box be prepared to work extremely hard, but also to have fun along the way: food is fantastic, HQ physical space really well planned out and a micro kitchen stocked with every possible snack in the world. Pay is excellent and benefits too.

Cons

Box is not for the faint of heart. The company is growing tremendously and there's a strong push to over achieve so you are required to roll up your sleeves, and wear many hats at times.

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

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.
