Pros

Great company and fantastic people to work with. There is a sense that they are on to something big.

Cons

Box has bit off too much too soon. Trying to go up against competitors like Open text and Sharepoint is not a great idea when the product is not quite there. If you are not in HQ, you are an afterthought. Also, the workforce is so young, they don't know what is real yet.

Pros

Coming from a much larger company in the technology space, I was excited for the smaller teams at Box, but was surprised at just how developed the programs were for this recently public company. I think Box is in a sweet spot right now for that mix between start-up culture and the freedom that involves, along with the stability and opportunity of a larger, more establish organization. While this will obviously continue to shift as Box grows, there is still that sense of connection and purpose among various LOBs. In a role that requires me to loop in various teams, I have never run into a Box-er who is unwilling to help and find out more about our inquisitions.

Cons

Being a non-HQ employee brings a few unavoidable issues, mainly around feeling connected to the buzz and opportunities of roles not located in our location. While HQ does a great job of keeping a seamless culture, it is still difficult to have those casual discussions with other LOBs that might be of interest for future career growth.

Pros

Undeniably, the most funnest, positive, rewarding, and life-changing place I've ever worked at

Cons

Sometimes they focus too much on making this place the funnest place on earth that they fail to execute.
