Pros

Box is a positive, high energy culture with a great vision and proven history of executing on large and small projects alike. Box employs some of the best and brightest from college hires to experienced staff and it shows. The culture and spirit is infectious and I’m proud to be able to advocate on behalf of Box. Benefits package is top notch, even for remote folks like myself. I may miss out on the awesome lunches at HQ, but I make up for it in work / life balance. My healthcare costs are now a fraction of what I’ve historically payed at other firms. I find not having to count vacation or sick hours to be a boon. My direct manager and I set a great open channel of communication from day one so I have no concerns about asking for time and being told no, or I’m “over the limit”. Box is really easy to use and helps both my personal and professional lives!

Cons

As a company, it is easy for the company to work in silos. There is a lot of talent across the organization and it isn’t necessarily easy to get access to it being remote. I have encountered this challenged everywhere I have worked remotely, but Box does have tools and processes in place to mitigate this. For example, we have multiple communication channels to ask for assistance (above and beyond the obvious talk to your manager). Communication from the C-level is common, detailed and highly energetic, but I would love to see more of it. Like I said earlier, working at Box can have that infectious in a fantastic way about it. More in this case is better!
