Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on what it’s like to work at OwnBackup. We’re always looking for ways to improve our total rewards, and are proud to offer competitive salaries, benefits, and perks to our employees. There is a great amount of consideration and attention to detail when it comes to our offices. We know that there is no substitute for in-person gatherings and the connections they foster. With this in mind, we have carefully evaluated each and every role at OwnBackup and its individual need to be in the office or not. Some roles are naturally suited for remote work, some hybrid, and some in the office. Each decision was made with a great deal of thought and consideration. If you have any other thoughts or questions, please contact your HRBP. Thank you!

Best company I have ever worked for… until they laid everyone off with no explanation!!!

Pros

- The company has been doubling in revenue for the last 7 years - The product is SOLID. OwnBackup solutions for Salesforce are second to none - Plenty of opportunities to succeed in a sales role - Great company incentives including free meals and health insurance - Amazing team culture in the Australian Team - Company is big on events and will spend millions on sponsorship and marketing. - High pace role but really rewarding - Generous salary package

Cons

- Sales targets are ambitious and if you don’t retire your quota, you are out the next day. - Get ready to take calls at every hour of the day or the night. - Must work from office at least 3 days a week. Mandatory office presence can be 5 days a week for more junior positions. - Parental leave is only 8 weeks. - HQ is ruthless. No respect towards people, no second changes given. - After laying off 95% of the original sales team at the beginning of this year, they started a hiring frenzy to get a new team up and running. Despite everyone was ahead of their number, in November 2022 we were ALL made redundant out of the blue. No explanation given.
