      Leadership Decisions Are Not Invoking Employee Confidence

      Pros

      Great day-to-day teams. The people who actually do the work are really great at what they do. Free lunches if in office. Unlimited PTO policy. Great 401k matching policy. 3% match and 1/2% matches up to 5%.

      Cons

      Concerning that there was a massive layoff in November and then they pushed all of the annual reviews for remaining employees that is typically in December to sometime in Q1. It appears they are preparing to make more unannounced decisions before compensation increases or they are preparing to freeze them altogether. One of the key values OwnBackup preaches is Trust through Transparency and there hasn't been a lot of clear communication internally as to the actual reasons behind decisions leadership is making and its impacting the employee confidence for those that are doing the daily work.

      Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy you are enjoying your colleagues at OwnBackup along with our employee benefits and perks. This year, we have launched our annual assessment process, an opportunity for employees to share their wins, plan for their career development, have open and honest conversations with their managers regarding their performance, build trust, and increase transparency. This process is new to the company and directly aligns with the merit increase process. In order to best align the two processes, we made the decision to recalibrate the timeline. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to your HRBP. Thank you.

      Pros

      Some people were nice in Tel Aviv. Nice new office.

      Cons

      They treated me like trash for months and then they fired me. Managers did not really see me, took decisions concerning my position without speaking me to me, as if I did not exist. As one of the few females in r&d, they made me feel like an outcast in their boys club. I also discovered I wad under paid compared to my male coleages. The most condescending people got promoted without doing any actual work.

      Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience you had was negative. We strive for diversity and inclusion in our teams and departments, in fact, the Senior Vice President of Engineering is female, and we intend to continue to build gender diversity going forward. We do not tolerate discrimination or exclusion of any kind. Thank you.

      Pros

      You can think youre adding value to customers

      Cons

      1. Terrible "Leadership" more like VC pawns. They admit they are cogs in the wheel and know at a given notice this company would implode from the backdoor deals they have done with tech giants. 2. Culture - Toxic culture built on alcohol and mediocre sales reps who played the political game. Don't trust a word they say. 3. They will blame being an international company HQd in Israel as a reason to force people back into the office. They don't trust their employees to work hard wherever they are so they hide behind the mirage of culture and togetherness in a crappy office 4. Overall lack morales. At the end of the day its a decent product but the people in leadership and management ruin it. They just lack a moral compass and will do anything to get ahead. Its truly an insignificant offering when compared to what competitors are coming out with but leadership and managers act like there isnt any competition.
