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.

Pros

Box.net is an incredible place to work if you're at the top of your game and willing to work hard. The pace is fast and the work and company culture are engaging - the days and weeks go by in a flash. This is the first company I've worked for that truly walks the talk of "work hard - play hard", and my direct co-workers, without exception, are exceptional on both a personal and professional level. As if this weren't enough, the company takes very good care of its employees - I can't imagine a better company to work for!

Cons

If you or your family are not comfortable with working hard at a fast-paced company, Box.net probably isn't for you...

Pros

- Fantastic co-workers- Very collaborative environment - Each employee is given the chance to make real change happen and contribute - Fun office (swings, small driving range, ping-pong, video games, and comfy couches) -Great perks (ie. Highly discounted Equinox gym membership: complete with an Equinox next door, all the food and drinks you could ever want,free Caltrain pass, great health coverage, etc)

Cons

- Not matching 401k contribution- yet - Upper management is very busy and hands-off - Lots to get done, still in startup mode(this could actually be a pro, depending on what you're looking for)
