Pros

Box has a fun and youthful workforce that's given an opportunity to take on challenges and demonstrate their ability to own greater responsibility than they would have at other companies.

Cons

Things move very fast here, and it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of hyper-growth. Employees need to be careful not to let the excitement of the place interfere with their work-life balance.

Pros

Box is a great company! Growing fast with lots of opportunity to advance in your career path. They are always looking to maximize the talents they have in-house already.

Cons

Pay is at start-up rates. No matter how much experience, skills, and success you have achieved in past positions....their pay is below comparable market rates. Negotiate heavily upfront and get all comp/terms on the offer letter.

Pros

-Free food (all kinds) -Beautiful and young crowd, average age here would be 25-26. -Laptop to everyone.

Cons

-You will find yourself working 12X7 or 16X5 i.e. >80 hours week. I think it is ok even if you work hard couple of days in a week but working hard all time without any appreciation is not cool. It is almost as if working long hours is made an expectation out of everyone. -Extremely tight market with a new cloud storage company opening up almost every week. My bet is that it is going to be race to reduce the price till one day some giant will come and start giving unlimited cloud storage for free and shut down business of box, dropbox, etc. etc. It is very risky to join a company like box in a dicey industry. -Money is burnt on billboards and campaigns which is unusual for a private funded startup and really whacky for my senses. -New office in Los Altos will not be close to public transportation making difficult for people using Caltrain to commute.
