Leading content management platform expands
operations in Poland and continues to rapidly hire in-region
Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX), the leading Content Cloud, today
announced the opening of new Research and Development offices in
Warsaw and continued expansion into Poland. Based in the heart of
Warsaw, Box will occupy ten floors of the newly completed Varso
Tower, now the EU’s highest building.
Since its debut in Poland in 2020, Box has hired more than 300
employees in the region with an emphasis on technical roles. The
company will continue to tap into Poland’s world-class engineering
and product talent pools, hiring in areas including design,
information security, finance, and people operations.
“At Box, we build technology that powers how the world works
together. Our thriving engineering teams in Poland are central to
Box’s product roadmap, critical engineering activities and overall
strategic growth,” said Thierry Chassaing, Senior Vice President of
Engineering at Box. “We’re excited to begin a new chapter in Poland
with the opening of Varso Tower, our largest Research and
Development site outside of our headquarters in California.”
“To date, our teams in Poland represent over 30 percent of
critical engineering roles across Box’s global engineering teams,
covering most of Box’s product areas,” said Rafal Szczepanski,
Senior Director, Engineering and Site Leader Poland. “We look
forward to continuing to hire exceptional and diverse talent in
Poland, putting our positive culture at the forefront of everything
we do.”
Box’s new office space represents a celebration of the unique
history and culture of Poland. By working with local artists,
photographers, furniture suppliers, designers, and architects
including Warsaw-based R&D Studio, Box has created an office
space that embraces Poland’s rich cultural heritage. Electric neon
hands designed by ADVERTIS pay homage to Poland’s electro-graphic
art era.
The state-of-the-art offices are configured to give employees
choice over where and how they work, enabling individual working
styles. Teams are empowered to do their best work through the
purpose-built working environments that support hybrid flexibility,
all while bringing the comforts of the home to the office. With
open space collaboration zones, huddle rooms, swanky social spaces,
bars and gaming lounges, employees can work and relax, enjoying
stunning views of Warsaw throughout.
Named by Fortune as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For,
Box’s benefits philosophy aims to enable Boxers to live their
healthiest lives. Some of Box’s employee and culture benefits
include:
- Hybrid work models, giving Boxers the option of flexible,
virtual, and office-based work environments;
- Equity awards and employee stock purchase plan;
- Family planning benefits including fertility, adoption and
surrogacy, pre- and post- natal support;
- Mental health guidance and support, including therapy and
coaching sessions;
- Weekly team office breakfasts and social activities arranged by

“At Box, we foster an environment for employees to bring their
authentic selves to work, assume good intent, and show deep respect
for one another. In addition to my role as a SRE [Site Reliability
Engineer], I serve voluntarily as a CFO or ‘Chief Fun Officer’. It
involves bringing colleagues together on a regular basis for
socials and activities,” said Jakub Wincewicz, Site Reliability
Engineer at Box. “Our Poland Boxers are proactively involved in
numerous community initiatives and fundraise for charities such as
Szlachetna Paczka or Fundacja po DRUGIE.”
