Pros

I am officially two months into my tenure here at OwnBackup, and I can honestly say I've never worked for a company as amazing as OwnBackup. The company is growing rapidly - doubling year over year. But that hasn't kept the leadership here from focusing on each and every employee. Employee satisfaction is emphasized here, and culture is just as important as results. This translates into awesome company retreats and events. OwnBackup handpicks its employees; the people who work at OwnBackup are some of the warmest, most driven, and most caring people I have ever met. Because of the growth that the company is experiencing, account executives here are able to reach a growing number of Salesforce customers who understand the importance of backup. In essence, our platform is extremely easy to sell because every Salesforce org needs it. It is incredible to see the internal growth of so many employees here. Promotions aren't just a thought here. The leadership actually puts plans in action that allow people to grow to the next level, and to succeed once they get there. On a personal level, I am fortunate to have an incredible team with a top-notch manager, VP of Sales, and Office Management team (major shoutout to Maggie Harten, Shira Jason, and Leah Betso), all of whom work to ensure that any question, special request, or need I have can be answered, fulfilled, and accommodated. Don't let this important point be an afterthought if you are considering a new job. It is so critical to have great people around you who will actually go way out of their way to accommodate you. OwnBackup is the first workplace I've been a part of that supports me as a person, not just as an employee. The company purposely set up our office in an open manner, which allows for constant collaboration and teamwork. Also, we will soon be moving to a significantly larger space, so there are many even better things to come. I can't tell you the number of times that other companies I've interviewed with have made promises (especially in terms of culture, work environment, and company growth) which they don't deliver on. OwnBackup is the first company I've worked at to deliver on every single one of the promises they made to me. Everyone cares here, and that translates to a successful environment. While base salaries for account executives are around average for tri-state area, commissions potential for AE is so much higher here because you're closing deals all the time. Benefits are pretty solid overall, although 401(K) matching is still on the roadmap. If you are lucky enough to be interviewing with OwnBackup and seeing this review, make sure not to miss the opportunity of your lifetime.

Cons

Wish I could get to see the people from Israel and UK offices even more often. Would love to see 401(K) matching for 2020.
