Pros

Flex work schedule. Working in “the cloud” and in tech. Catered lunch everyday if that’s you’re thing. Gym and phone refund monthly.

Cons

Next to nothing benefits. Slashed health benefits. They do not match 401k because they think their stock “plan” aka ESPP is worth more..

Thank you so much for the candor and we appreciate that you shared your perspective. On the benefits offerings, we've been particularly excited to have increased our parental leave up to anywhere from 12-20 weeks, provide a number of very competitive health coverage plans to choose from and offer commuter subsidies for all Austin employees to name a few. We know that an ESPP program is not a replacement for a 401k match - but, we are definitely proud that our ESPP is one of the best in class in the industry with a 15% discount and 2 year look back period. Ultimately, we strive to build organizations that provide growth & development opportunities for our Boxers to build amazing careers. We'd like to learn more about how we can make this the most epic place for people to work. If you'd like to share more about your experience feel free to reach out - c@box.com and I'd love to talk more. Christy Lake

Pros

Working at Box offers a strong mix of career growth, meaningful impact, and modern tech exposure—you get to sell and support a platform that’s actually solving real-world problems across government, enterprise, and regulated industries, not just pushing software for the sake of it. The company’s focus on AI-powered content management, security, and workflow automation keeps you close to where the market is heading, which builds highly transferable skills. At the same time, the culture tends to emphasize collaboration, autonomy, and ownership, giving you room to develop your own strategies (like your targeted campaigns and use-case-driven outreach) while still having the backing of a well-established platform with strong product-market fit.

Cons

Working at Box isn’t without its challenges—one of the biggest is that the product can be harder to differentiate at a surface level, especially against tools like Microsoft (SharePoint/OneDrive) or Dropbox, which means you have to work much harder in sales to educate prospects on deeper workflow and security value. Sales cycles can be long and complex, requiring patience and persistence with multiple stakeholders. Internally, like many growing tech companies, priorities and messaging can shift as new products (AI, Extract, etc.) roll out, which can create some ambiguity. And because Box is a platform play, success often depends on how well customers adopt and expand usage, so deals don’t always feel “done” at close—you’re thinking long-term from day one.
