Business Outlook

Pros

This place has an incredible buzz about it! There is a lot of youth and energy, and an almost tangible sense of excitement. The company also has a great team spirit, embodied in the Friday lunch all-hands meetings that usually feature plenty of humor as well as exciting news. I am far more excited and happier about working at Box than I have been at any other company in Silicon Valley.

Cons

No annual bonus, and sick days come out of PTO. I'm worried that the upcoming move to a 3-story building in Los Altos may dilute some of the team spirit we currently get from all being on the same floor and make Box a more corporate environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Strong product with real enterprise value - Smart, supportive coworkers across teams - Good place to build customer-facing and cross-functional experience - Exposure to meaningful technical and commercial work

Cons

- Career growth can depend heavily on team and leadership, with internal visibility and alignment playing a big role - Strong performance does not always translate into timely promotion or compensation progression - Because Box competes in a category often viewed as commoditized, deals can be harder to win without strong technical selling - Overall employee experience can vary a lot by org
