Pros

The people here are hands down the best I’ve ever come across in my years working in tech. They hire the brightest and most innovative from many of the large tech companies who have loads of experience. The office space in RWC is also the nicest space I’ve ever seen across all of big tech (compared to Google, Amazon, SFDC, etc). Fully stocked cafeteria for meals and the best snacks anywhere. Exec staff is also very approachable and will actually remember you and thank you when you work on a project together. Amazing experience from the top down.

Cons

The biggest gripe I have (and why I don’t give 5 stars) is the annual performance review process. It is mandatory and it takes HOURS away from actual work you could be doing for the company. You have to review yourself in full detail and also get several peers to review you, which takes so much time away from the larger company goals. If the required performance review could be shortened/eliminated I would give 5 stars. Also if OKRs could be reduced to once per year vs every quarter, it would also improve the overall workforce efficiency.

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.
