Pros

I've worked for Box for 2 1/2 years now, and couldn't be happier with my decision to come work here. At the time, I was looking at Salesforce, Google, and several other tech companies, but Box stood out from the beginning because of the culture, training, and opportunity for success. They hired me as an Outbound Business Representative and they offered me a 2-week training course right off the bat, which quickly got me acclimated to the solution and how to sell it. Furthermore, they offer on-going training that allows you to stay up to date with what's new with Box, and consistent email communication as well. Soon enough, I was promoted to more of a direct sales role on a vertical team, Inside Sales Representative for Higher Education, where again, I was coached and mentored very closely. After a year in that role, I was promoted again to Account Executive for Higher Education. Overall, Box has trained, challenged, and rewarded me for my hard work, which is something I love to see in a company. I believe in the culture, the solution, and the future roadmap, and can't wait to move to Redwood City, where I'm sure they will continue to keep us Boxers happy.

Cons

As a public company, Box has changed quite a bit since I started. There was a period of attrition, which affected the culture a lot, but this has since then evened out and the people who stayed are very happy they did.

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
