Pluspunten

-The benefits are truly great, I love having lunch brought in every day, and the snacks are great -The people, I do not believe there has been a single person at Box that I have met that I haven't liked so far. -If you do well there is potential to make decent money.

Minpunten

-very rigid promotion structure, the expectation is at month 12 you are promoted to another role. While this sounds great in theory one of the key drawbacks is this only works when the position you want is available otherwise you are pressured in to accepting whatever they have available (which is usually a territory of a rep that quit because they had a bad territory setting you up for quite the struggle if not failure) -Over half of your commission that you are paid and evaluated on is completely out of your control, your success and pay depends solely on which rep you support. -The current opportunity system does not create alignment between the teams, the Outbound Reps are clogging the sales funnels with fake opportunities so they can hit their quota making it difficult to accurately forecast deals and wasting the time of senior reps -The turn over is considerably higher than anyone will admit to. -Very few reps hit their quota.

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.
