Pros

Has it all - Good people, good career opportunities, international offices, customer facing roles, good benefits, working from anywhere. Think about the fact we spend at least 8 hours a day at work, isn't cultural fit one of the most important things? Box does have amazing people and takes hiring very seriously (hence why the process is quite extensive). Honestly it is worth it! Once you are in, you can see why people love working here and why it is so hard to leave. There is lots of community initiatives, people are always looking to help out, and the dynamic between offices is quite good when it comes to working together. At least here in London we have a very European community and we are very united by it. You definitely get what you put in! In terms of career development, it takes a bit of time to get it sorted but a good relationship with your manager, and networking (like everything) should does the trick. There's a lot of options to use your time wisely, a lot of benefits which come with education such as Udemy and Modern Health, so you can always keep developing yourself in your own time.

Cons

Career development like everywhere, it is quite a push and it happens ONLY once a year. It does mean that sometimes we lose talent because of it A lot of the global meetings are based on PST - which makes it quite challenging. However, work/life balance is quite good, so when these occur you can always take some time back

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
