I love working here

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:

  • Culture: Take actions that create an inclusive environment where Boxers can thrive regardless of their background or identity
    Careers: Recruit, develop, and progress a high- performing workforce that reflects the world we live in
  • Community: Celebrate and support the unique experiences of our global communities internally and externally.

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.

Our current ERCs include:

  • Asian Pacific Islanders
  • BoxAbilities
  • Black Excellence Network
  • Box Vets
  • Box Women's Netrok
  • Families at Box
  • Somos Box
  • Mosaic
  • Pride
  • Women in Tech
  • Young Professionals Network

About Us

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.
