Pros

Nice office...... and ummm- not a single thing else.

Cons

Leadership is dreadful. If you search the word "cons" in any dictionary you'd probably see a big picture of the entire Ownbackup leadership team. Management gossips about employees with other employees and they're pretty unapologetic about it. There is hardly opportunity for growth for anyone who isn't Jewish. I've seen it with my own two God given eyes! On the flipside, if you're willing to pucker up for lots of gluteus maximus then that might help you. The "culture" is handicapped and it's as simple as that. Nothing more nothing less. Oh and be wary of the "5 star reviews" that were most likely written by someone on their marketing team. The bottom line is that Ownbackup isn't a good place to work- you will hate it after two months, three months tops. If you want to hate your job- apply here!! PS: I gave one star because I couldn't put zero stars and that's what they deserve. Zero stars.

Pros

I have been working at OwnBackup for almost a year and a half now. I didn’t know what to expect coming into a start-up environment, but I can genuinely say, I’m happy I did. OwnBackup has become my home away from home, a place where I feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged. When I saw no trajectory in my previous position, OwnBackup created a new role for me that didn't exist before, allowing me the opportunity to pursue my passion. I have now been able to, with OwnBackup's leadership and resources, begin establishing myself in a career that I am proud of. When I have concerns, I am not turned away, I am welcomed. I am encouraged by leadership to voice my opinions and express my viewpoints. OwnBackup believes in building trust through transparency. It is the OwnBackup way. My co-workers have become a second family to me. Here, culture is as important as results, and that is proven through the quality of the people that OwnBackup invests in. I don't dread going into work in the morning, I'm actually weirdly excited most of the time. I commute in on the shuttle that OwnBackup offers for NYC residents, so that's saying a lot. Aside from that, the product speaks for itself. It is by far the best backup and recovery solution on the market. Hands down. I feel lucky knowing that I work for a company, with fire, spirit, and the drive to truly make an impact in the Salesforce ecosystem.

Cons

-Wish I could get to see the people from Israel and UK offices even more often. -Separate PTO and sick days
