Box

Employees say:

"Two main things have kept me at Box for 12 years: a talented, caring, supportive manager, and a team of people who thank each other, help each other, and communicate effectively. All the people I work with, my direct team and folks from other business units, treat each other with respect and interest. I thought this was normal until I heard someone say, 'Box is the first company I've worked for where everyone thanks each other at the end of every meeting!'"

Employees say:

"What makes Box a great place to work is that the rigor and energy of the people who work here really enable our innovation and growth as a company. I believe I work with really smart people who care about what they do, but also are able to incorporate their best selves at work - whatever that may be. Our core value of "Bring your (___) self to work every day" really resonates and not only do I feel comfortable with my team, I feel comfortable giving and providing feedback where needed. I also find that we aim to 10x everything we do (another core value that Boxers embody)."

Employees say: "The work-life balance this company supports and provides is absolutely out of this world! I would never be able to take care of my family the way I do if it wasn't for Box being so open and understanding. That in itself puts this company above the rest, 100%. To add to that, my coworkers are absolutely amazing. Combine a company who cares and a great team, and you truly cannot beat it."

Employees say:

"Work life balance is made a priority, and hybrid working style allows for flexibility to work effectively while taking care of small children and aging parents."

Employees say:

"I have been so impressed by various aspects of this company, including the emphasis on values such as "Make Your Mom Proud". The company culture is unmatched, and I feel that every one of the managers, executives, and co-workers I have collaborated with truly operates with integrity, honesty, compassion, and authenticity. Furthermore, I feel that I receive recognition for my accomplishments. Box does a wonderful job of recognizing achievements and hard work, and employees are given many leadership and involvement opportunities. I feel as if this organization truly cares about my personal and professional development, and I learn new things each day."

Employees say:

"The people here are fantastic, caring, and fun. They make going to work easy, especially as a remote worker. Everyone, for the most part, is quite approachable. The transparency is phenomenal. Even though we have 2000+ people who work at Box, we have a weekly call to go over how we are doing as a business. Individuals have the opportunity EVERY WEEK to ask our execs questions. And we get their honest answers."

Employees say: 

"Box is one of the few companies where the people actually put care and thought into how employees are treated and how they can contribute greatly here. I think the company and its leaders truly care about the balance of the employees which in turn delivers great business output." 

Box’s commitment to its employees goes well beyond the office. It matches employee donations to a wide variety of nonprofits in full, and offers staff days off from work for volunteer service. Eight diverse former and current nonprofit CEOs serve on the Box.org Advisory Council, consulting with the cloud-computing services firm on its strategy and direction, and providing specific guidance on how to advance its goals, such as ensuring child welfare and supporting environmental causes. 

Box has upgraded its offices to match its environmental objectives, adding water stations for refillable bottles, supplying compostable plates and utensils, and installing EV-charging stations—measures that it estimates have collectively reduced Box’s greenhouse gas emissions by more than 300,000 kilograms.

The firm has also made a practice of taking a stand against racism and hate-fueled violence. Box has signed a Working With Cancer pledge, an AAPI pledge, a letter to the Senate advocating for gun reform, and numerous other statements in the public interest.

• Box offers many professional growth opportunities through its Career Framework Program and Accelerate, an educational program for the company’s managers that stretch for 12 to 18 months beyond the onboarding period.


• The company offers 18 employee-led affinity groups, along with over 20 different interest groups to pursue activities like yoga and cooking with a community.


• Box supports its employees in their health and wellness practices, including gym reimbursements, flexible time off, fertility benefits, and mental health support. It recently increased the number of mental health days for its employees.


• The company gives employees and their dependents access to Modern Health for virtual and in-person sessions with coaches and therapists around the world.


• “I truly feel like I can be myself at work,” one Box employee said. “In addition, the compensation at Box is aligned with inflation and ahead of market trends. Most companies would penny-pinch, but Box gave me what they felt I deserved.”
