Pros

-Great benefits and perks! -Beautiful new Redwood City HQ was designed to accommodate all work styles, has an in-house kitchen staff, and is in a fun/accessible part of town. -Growing company (~1400) that has managed to retain a "start-up" feel -Whip-smart, accessible leadership -Real commitment to internal mobility and promoting from within -Very flexible scheduling (depending on your manager, of course) -Can bring your "whole self" to work and be authentic

Cons

-Box is big, but still scaling and can be a bit wonky. Great for scrappy go-getters, may not be the best fit for people who love process and clear direction at every juncture.

Pros

- Really great place to work as a new grad. Your ideas and ability to contribute are not viewed as lesser-than just because this is your first job out of college. Plus great mentor resources and learning opportunities (since Box is a full stack product). - Coworkers are awesome - intelligent, friendly, helpful, nice. - Box really cares about and invests in its culture. Recruiters, interviewers, and hiring managers all make sure that we are hiring people who are a positive add to our atmosphere. - High impact work. Every project I have worked on has been meaningful to the progress of our engineering organization. - Great compensation and benefits. - Intelligent, friendly, approachable, and caring leadership. From Aaron, Dylan, and Dan to each engineer's manager, leaders throughout the company consistently display thoughtfulness, care, and the ability to listen to those they are leading. - You can tell that people really like coming to work every day. - If you tell a customer that you work for Box, their typical response is enthusiasm and to tell you all the ways that they use it at work.

Cons

- No employer contribution to 401(k) yet - Wall Street doesn't always reflect how we feel about the value of our product (short term problem)

Pros

Extremely positive environment - Everyone helps each other Comp Plan and Benefits are some of the best in the industry Strong Leadership from Top Executive (Aaron Levie) to First Line Managers, Box hires the best people out there Great technology and vision

Cons

Market is very good, but some prospects are lagging when it comes to Cloud implementations Box is a WIP on distinguishing itself out of the EFSS market - the software, messaging are there but customers/prospects still think of Box as EFSS
