What It's Like to Work Here
-
Three years ago, I stumbled upon a book that transformed how I approached work. Two years later, I joined an organization that embodied the values I took from the book. Here, "curiosity" isn't just a buzzword – it's the foundation of all our interactions. We create a supportive, celebratory learning environment where everyone's unique strengths are cherished, fostering collaborative teamwork. I have repeatedly said, "I felt like I won the lottery when I joined this team"; I stand by that quote!

Box of Crayons has been an exciting journey over the last three years. During my time here, I’ve been empowered to forge my own direction, learn from my mistakes, and grow. Unlike many other companies that claim to prioritize soft skills like flexibility, generosity, and work-life balance, Box of Crayons consistently demonstrates these values on a daily basis. Since joining Box of Crayons three years ago, I’ve witnessed significant growth both in the company and in myself. I’m excited to see where the next chapter of this journey will take us!
