How is Box?

Nov 6, 2021 26 Comments

Got new grad offer for box (full remote) and am pretty excited because the project seems cool. Wanted to know if people and current employees think it’s a good place to learn/grow? Is it a good name to get FANG interviews if I leave in the future?

Expected TC: 175k (year 1)

    As a new grad you'll learn a lot anywhere. And Box doesn't have a bad reputation or anything, probably mostly neutral. So accepting this is not a _bad_ option. There are probably some better places out there (what they would be depends on what you're looking for) but at the end of the day, if Box is your best looking offer, you can feel fine about going with it. Then you can plan on getting a few years of experience there and then hopping to something else _if_ you want.

    Worse than Dropbox, bad on call, archaic codebase, stock doesn’t move. That was my impression when interviewing there, but 175 and entry level is epic so just take it.

    It's chill. Not a rocket ship like some companies so people shit on them here. Most human company I've worked for by miles and I've been around. That also kills any new grad offer I've seen, ever, at box

      @newBoxer That's just box negotiating hosting contracts and engineers doing the boring grunt work of moving so the company can save a couple bucks. Get ready to migrate all of those services back once google stops giving us good pricing in 6-12 months.

    Box does not hire a lot of new grads and the few they hire are mostly returning interns. Companies that hire lots of new grads have more structured mentorship/training programs. You will not get that at Box

    If that's something important to you, maybe there are better options. If you don't need mentorship, lots to learn here

    In terms of the name, you can interview anywhere afterwards
