Pluspunten

• Large established enterprise • Competitive salary • High energy and internal engagement if you're looking to network

Minpunten

- High demands of time and energy beyond realistic expectations, often working grueling 60+ hour work weeks - If you're a person of color you will feel alienated and alone as the company is predominately white and unabashedly unashamed about it (and unashamed about not making room specifically for more African American people - If you share requests for any points of understanding that diverge from the status quo you will be seen and labeled as disruptive and retaliated against in the form of "quiet demotion" = being locked out of tasks and opportunities - Actions are taken in poor taste - emailing employees on weekends and asking for tasks and updates on work events and issues - Despite chronicling a long documented history of high performance and even external praise and validation from enterprise customers the company will undervalue you if you happen to identify as female and there is a male who is tangentially related to any project you have worked on on in any way - Documented cases of males in the exact same role and title making more annually in salary and bonus than females and people of color here, in 2023

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.
