Life at Box.net

People at Box.net are intense, energetic and inquisitive, with a desire to work on something important. We work differently - from our open office environment to our passionate arguments about how to improve the way people work and communicate. But we also believe that creating a fun work atmosphere enhances innovative thinking, collaboration between different types of people, and commitment to our shared goal of improving the way businesses collaborate. We laugh, poke fun at ourselves, play a mean game of ping-pong, and stay late for the occasional Halo night. If you want to use your creativity, brilliance, and talent to do something great, we'd like to hear from you.
