Box is the market leader for Cloud Content Management and our mission is to power how the world works together through a single platform for secure content management, collaboration, and workflow.
Pros
I was hesitant when I first applied to this job because I was worried that the amazing reviews about company culture were too good to be true. I have to say, the company culture is genuinely fantastic. I enjoy going to work and Box genuinely cares about you and your growth within the company. I'm always skeptical of OTE when it comes to sales, but hitting quota (and even exceeding it) is very doable! If you're looking to get into sales I don't think there's a better place to work.Cons
I have yet to experience any!Our company is built on people: We call them Boxers. They come from a range of backgrounds and experiences, and each has a unique story to tell. Our goal is to fully leverage and engage the individual talents and capabilities of our diverse teams, ultimately creating an inclusive environment where Boxers feel they belong. Our company values and DE&I initiatives are intentionally designed to lift up each and every member of the Box team. We approach DEI through:
Our Employee Resource Communities (ERCs) are employee-led affinity groups that support a culture of belonging and elevate the needs and experiences of underrepresented communities. Available both remotely and across office locations, ERCs bring Box culture and values to each region while remaining inclusive of Boxers worldwide. All Boxers are welcome and encouraged to engage in ERC programming and events.

From a Berkeley Cottage to Now
What if big business could move at start-up speed? What if files could be openly shared, yet fully secure? What if scaling too fast was an opportunity, not an issue? That’s what Box is all about. Defying “possible.” Turning “what if” into “what can be.” Using the power of Box to make your business perform like never before. No matter what business you’re in. It’s why we founded Box in 2005. The idea for Box originated from a research project Aaron Levie worked on while at USC. He shared his concept for a simple content sharing platform with his childhood friend, Dylan Smith, and the two built the Box platform in 2005. Soon after, they moved to a cottage in Berkeley with their first round of funding--Dylan's online poker winnings of $20,000--to pursue their goal: to change the way people worked. Today, Box helps millions of customers worldwide untether from their desks and share content in the cloud. People can now work anywhere, on any device and collaborate across the globe with complete ease and security.
Working at Box is all about... A community that celebrates and supports your whole self. Ownership of your career growth and opportunity to drive new ideas. And a product that impacts the future of work, across all teams, of all shapes and sizes.
Seeing the difference you'll make Regardless of where you work within Box, everyone has a hand in shaping a service millions of people use around the world every day. Whether it's a simple suggestion or a new way of doing something, you can make your mark here, again and again. We encourage it.
Helping create and promote great products There's just something about Box. Once people use it, they love it and wonder how they got along without it. Many of the world's most respected companies use Box, including P&G, Dell, TaylorMade and Clear Channel, among many others. Working at Box, you can take pride in building and spreading the word about something that's, well, just really cool.
Our Boxers embody our core values both in and outside the office. Our values thread our culture and show who we are as a company!
