Pros

-culture seems like it's great, but it's actually not because it's all fake (don't trust what you see on social media)

Cons

-toxic work environment -managers who weren't fit to lead (moody, passive aggressive, etc.) -lots of harassment that is overlooked, everyone is scared to speak up (they know there will be no support from the company) -HR team is useless in solving any issues, they only care about to company's reputation, not about the people -lower than average pay, almost impossible to hit full commission -career mobility was extremely limited -long hours and quick burn out and turn over -everyone was miserable and morale was always low

At OwnBackup, one of our core values is ‘culture is as important as results.’ This is demonstrated at every level of the business, from our ability to collaborate as a team, to our policies, companywide events, and our company swag. It’s what we consider when we hire, especially when it comes to our managers. We understand that managers contribute to the employee experience in a big way, and offer training and support to all managers across the company, with an emphasis on new managers. We can say confidently that any report of harassment in the workplace is looked into and resolved by our dedicated and qualified team of HR professionals. According to our most recent employee engagement survey, 91% of employees say they are made to feel welcome after joining the company. On average, 92% say they are treated fairly regardless of their race, sexual orientation, or gender. Our compensation is above the industry average, and we experience low employee turnover. We were also recognized as a Fortune Best Workplaces for Millennials and Best Workplaces New York company.
