Engineering culture was effective and fun. Boxers have a tight-knit alumni network. Aaron Levie is a delightful CEO to work for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Workplace definitely cares about its employees, low levels of office politics, delicious free food. Work is challenging in a good way, but not overwhelming or stressful.

Cons

Engineering department can have disorganized leadership and cross-team collaboration can be hampered by poor communication. Product strategy emphasizes new features over having a good experience using existing features. User experience using Box has a lot of gaps.
