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)
