Pluspunten

Aaron Levie is fantastic in front of customers (as long as the meeting is in the afternoon and he has had his nap) Benefits are great if you work at Box HQ. Free breakfast, lunch and dinner plus all the snacks you could ever want! The Box product works as advertised The cloud ecosystem is the place to be and Box is in the center of it

Minpunten

The Box culture. Box loves to talk about how great their culture is, however, it is very hard to fit into this cliquish culture if you are a new employee. The employees who have been there a long time don't really have any other experience besides Box. But, if it's not the Box way, then it's the highway! Not open to new or fresh ideas from the outside Benefits. Yes, free meals are nice but there are no real benefits such as a matching 401K. Benefits are only given to employees that work at Box HQ. If you are remote, forget about it. Leadership. There simply is none. Box is spending a lot of money (marketing) trying to make the company look like it's a great place to work. There has been a mass exodus over the last year due to the fact that it is simply not a fun place to work. Yes, the stock is a dog but that's not why employees are leaving. Employees simply don't get treated fairly as their management has not done the job before, thus, don't know how to manage effectively. Aaron Levie is a plus for Box but he is not a CEO. He needs to be put into another role within the company and a true CEO should be hired that can make the company profitable and help it be seen beyond just a circus show.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
