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.

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)

Pros

The people I work with, (and the paycheck :P). I absolutely love the people I get to work with on a daily basis, and I am constantly walking around in awe at the talent that Box has managed to amass. Everyone I talk to is impressive at what they do, and it just feels like being in college and surrounded by passionate motivated people.

Cons

Still lots of growing pains related to tech-debt and early decisions, but visible progress is definitely being made.
