Pros

I've worked for Box for 2 1/2 years now, and couldn't be happier with my decision to come work here. At the time, I was looking at Salesforce, Google, and several other tech companies, but Box stood out from the beginning because of the culture, training, and opportunity for success. They hired me as an Outbound Business Representative and they offered me a 2-week training course right off the bat, which quickly got me acclimated to the solution and how to sell it. Furthermore, they offer on-going training that allows you to stay up to date with what's new with Box, and consistent email communication as well. Soon enough, I was promoted to more of a direct sales role on a vertical team, Inside Sales Representative for Higher Education, where again, I was coached and mentored very closely. After a year in that role, I was promoted again to Account Executive for Higher Education. Overall, Box has trained, challenged, and rewarded me for my hard work, which is something I love to see in a company. I believe in the culture, the solution, and the future roadmap, and can't wait to move to Redwood City, where I'm sure they will continue to keep us Boxers happy.

Cons

As a public company, Box has changed quite a bit since I started. There was a period of attrition, which affected the culture a lot, but this has since then evened out and the people who stayed are very happy they did.

Pros

Great compensation, flexible work schedule, exciting projects, bright, cooperative engineers.

Cons

Over the last few years Box has successfully brought in some very strong people with vast technical/leadership experience. These were a head above existing middle managers. Respect for leadership dwindled, and upper management reacted by promoting the managers who have lost backing of their more senior reports up the corporate ladder, away from dealing with actual project and developers where they are doing even more damage.

Pros

I felt like a true part of the team, and did real work. This helped me learn more about the product and develop my skills as an engineer.

Cons

The code base is quite large and things tend to move more slowly (depends on team). Hopefully you're interested in enterprise content management as a product.
