Pros

-market leading product for Salesforce customers -many OwnBackup fans amongst Salesforce Partner network -Salesforce AE’s have recommended OwnBackup to their customers over their own native solution, which is rudimentary (for now…) -get to build up your network of contacts across the Salesforce ecosystem -solution engineering team are exceptional -sales enablement is very good, perhaps industry leading -lots of sales tools intended to make life easier and a quality sales methodology

Cons

-total addressable market trumpeted during interview feels exaggerated -too many minimum size deals, even in larger companies -no marketing & partner network feels tapped out -new solutions released with key features left on roadmap -targets unrealistic -PIP’s are common -serpentine management -low morale with many departures recently

Own Company Response

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your time with OwnBackup, but we acknowledge that our performance-driven culture isn’t a fit for everyone. We see a huge opportunity for growth in Australia and New Zealand and have recently opened an office in Sydney. We are deeply committed to enabling our sales team to bring OwnBackup to every ANZ customer who needs to protect their critical data. -Alyssa Lahar, Chief People Officer
