During National Hispanic Heritage Month, many companies are intentionally making an effort to celebrate their Latinx employees. National Hispanic Heritage Month honors the long and important presence of Hispanic and Latinx peoples in the United States. It began as a week-long celebration in 1968 until 1989 when it became a month-long celebration. At Glassdoor, we’ve made it our mission to celebrate, educate, and embrace the culture of all Hispanic/ Latinx Glassdoorians across the globe.
Here are 4 companies committing themselves to address the Hispanic and Latinx communities’ needs while providing opportunities that empower their Latinx employees’ lives and careers.
Box has been committed to building a culture that is inclusive of individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. They want to build teams that are as diverse as our customers and the world we live in, with a broad representation of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, backgrounds, and perspectives — among many other dimensions of diversity. Their ultimate goal is to cultivate a vibrant and values-driven community, where Boxers feel like they belong, and this is what makes Box such an incredible place to work! To recognize Hispanic Heritage Month and their Latinx Employee Resource Community (ERC), they highlight specific employees from the following cultural heritage: from countries such as El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Chile, and many more.
Open Roles:
Engineering Manager, Messaging and Notifications, Staff Backend Engineer, Conversion, Business Analytics Sr. Analyst – Sales, Fullstack Senior Software Engineer, Sr. Specialist, Organizational Success, Customer Success Enablement Manager & more.
What Employees Say:
“I haven’t regretted joining Box for a second. The company has fantastic culture, a great product set (which has a leadership position within all of the key analyst reports), and offers exciting work. The European team is in transition, but some brilliant team members and some top new talent join the Sales, Marketing, and CS teams. The culture is genuinely supportive and collaborative, both at a regional and global level, with many community groups (MOSAIC, Pride, Box Women’s Network) and an ongoing program run by our Chief Fun Officers. The benefits are excellent. I’ve also seen multiple colleagues be promoted and some excellent international transfer opportunities.” – Current Employee
