Don't believe the hype

Pros

Free food *if* you work in Redwood city

Cons

The company values are aspirational. Once you peel back the layers the company reveals itself as a passive aggressive organization. Rumors and conjecture rule where fact are irrelevant. I needed to take the company to court to get reimbursed for T&E. Box is so anti-Microsoft there appears to be no future for their product line outside of those that don't use OneDrive or Teams. The product doesn't hold up and will not result in company longevity.
