      Does Box ACTUALLY care about their employees?

      Pros

      - Catered lunches - Discount Virgin Active membership - great location - quite social

      Cons

      They do not care about their employees the way that they claim. I am pretty sure the way that they made certain staff redundant was highly unethical. People were told to leave the premises on the same day that they were made redundant, people that have been fired were treated with more dignity. No support was offered to staff and certain members of staff had to book an appointment to collect the remainder of their belongings. A lot of the staff were left disgruntled and confused as no prior notice was given, people were made redundant with immediate effect. The HR team seemed rather insensitive about the entire process, which is quite shocking as it was carried out by the most senior member of staff in HR. Box did seem like an amazing company in the beginning, but I guess somehow they lost sight of that. Redundancy is not new, but Box should learn how to at least dismiss their employees with a little bit more dignity and respect.

      Good company, low pay

      Pros

      Box is a well run company with an excellent culture. People at the company typically look after one another and help each other achieve personal and professional goals. You also wont have to worry too much about having to stay at the office late.

      Cons

      You'll make almost no money working here. They will unfortunately only hire people out of good schools, which is a policy that is truly backwards and largely despicable, so it'll be tough to save any money if you have student loans on top of that.

      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.
