Pros

Great product. Customers seem to really like the solution for Salesforce at least.

Cons

Management thought our expansion into additional clouds was going to really take off so they tripled the size of the sales team and other departments. Territories shrunk but Reps kept the same quota. Because management was so off with the forecasts they needed to let go of some great employees. The severance package was a complete joke. If you got fired for being bad at your job a few months ago you got triple the amount of severance compared to letting people go because management messed up. No one from HR responded to our email questions basically forcing you to sign the separation agreement out of stressed that your not going to get anything.

Thank you for your feedback. At OwnBackup, one of our core values is, “We care about everything we do.” This was at the top of mind when we made the difficult decision to realign the organization. Our HR team took great time, care, and compassion while having difficult conversations with every person affected. We closed our offices globally in order to give those affected privacy and dignity, and offered a severance package to each employee. We apologize if a question you had went unanswered. Please feel free to reach out to obquestions@ownbackup.com if you have any remaining questions or thoughts. Thank you.
