There’s a good chance that your pets love Nestle Purina, and we do too since they’re sponsoring One Day, One Job this week! Check out our post on them and their awesome entry level jobs.

As I’ve been ripping through the Inc. 500 in search of awesome, fast growing companies that are hiring new or recent grads, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of companies with similar business models. Insurance is big. So is credit card processing. Recruiting is surprisingly robust, and so is SEO/Online/Affiliate Marketing. Another area that is extremely hot is cloud storage. Two weeks ago we looked at ShareFile, and today we’re going to look at Palo Alto, CA based Box.net. They have similar offerings that allow business to simply and securely share files. Although ShareFile has been growing a little faster, Box.net has seen 1,822.3% three-year growth and actually has higher annual revenues at $5.1 million. The other difference is that it seems that ShareFile focuses more on the exchange of files, while Box.net seems to put a bigger emphasis on offering a full content management system.

Think Inside the Box

I’m moving on Friday. Since I usually work from home, that means that I have to move my entire office. The good news is that mostly consists of a laptop. Nearly everything that’s important to my business is on my MacBook Pro, on my backup hard drive, and on my server. More and more businesses exist mostly in “the cloud,” and that’s why Box.net is able to grow so quickly. They make it so that you don’t have to have your own server if you want make all of your business’ documents accessible from anywhere. They already have 60,000 businesses using their service, and that includes names like Procter & Gamble, Dell, MTV, Deloitte, and many more. If you want to see how they’re using Box.net, you should take a look at the Case Studies. If you like what you see, then you can head over to the Box.net Careers page. They do a really nice job of telling you why the company is a great place to work, and they even have a section specifically for engineers. Box.net’s current openings include Automation Architect, Backend Guru, Cocoa Developer (Boston, MA), Web Developer, Web Engineer, Billing Operations Coordinator, Associate Product Marketing Manager, Sales Development Representative, and Sales Operations Associate. There are a lot of cool jobs, so check them out and see what gets you excited.
