Pros

Close to IPO. Free food. Very young and hip atmosphere if you're just out of college. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Culture is not much fun if you happen to get stuck working closely with the founders inner circle in the engineering organization. They're not very good and tend to be an odd combination of autocratic and randomizing so you feel like you're being micro-managed and dumbed down when working with them. Work life balance is not very good compared with other similar stage companies. Building is already packed to capacity (they moved in just over year ago.) Company has big bias toward hiring young out of college.

Pros

Ownership - I have complete control of my projects and feel like ownership The company is growing so fast there is amazing opportunity for advancement Technically, I am learning so fast and gaining valuable knowledge about scaling, security, and code architecture Work-hard, play-hard atmosphere. I genuinely enjoy company events. It's obvious that people love working here and feel invested in the company.

Cons

Box has all the problems that come with hypergrowth: on the one hand processes and organizations don't work the way they should. On the other hand, we're no longer the intimate company that we were before. Both are painful, but made worth it by the benefit
