Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: - Really great place to work as a new grad. Your ideas and ability to contribute are not viewed as lesser-than just because this is your first job out of college. Plus, great mentor resources and learning opportunities (since Box is a full stack product).
- Coworkers are awesome: intelligent, friendly, helpful, and nice.
- Box really cares about and invests in its culture. Recruiters, interviewers, and hiring managers all make sure that we are hiring people who are a positive addition to our atmosphere.
- High impact work. Every project I have worked on has been meaningful to the progress of our engineering organization.
- Great compensation and benefits.
- Intelligent, friendly, approachable, and caring leadership. From Aaron, Dylan, and Dan to each engineer's manager, leaders throughout the company consistently display thoughtfulness, care, and the ability to listen to those they are leading.
- You can tell that people really like coming to work every day.
- If you tell a customer that you work for Box, their typical response is enthusiasm and to tell you all the ways that they use it at work.
Cons: - No employer contribution to 401(k) yet.
- Wall Street doesn't always reflect how we feel about the value of our product (short-term problem).
