* Work-hard, play-hard culture. * Respectful environment. * True meritocracy - individuals get rewarded for their output. * Flexible hours and PTO. (as long as you hit your deadlines) * Building a product used by millions of people.

Cons

* The company is so focused on growing that sometimes individuals don't get as much attention as they could. * Sometimes company-wide communication is not as complete and timely as it could be. * Extremely competitive industry with lots of big players.

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.
