Pros

As a whole, the entire team at OwnBackup is incredibly helpful, positive, and happy to help in any way. The company prioritizes a fun culture. It's actually one of the values: we take our work seriously but not ourselves. I see this exemplified at all levels of the company. My colleagues are very talented and dedicated to their team. The quality of work coming out of my area is excellent. At least in the New Jersey office, I don't see that people are overworked or stressed out, which tells me that there is good work-life balance. The leadership team is accessible to everyone and overall, this is a pretty flat organization where egos don't seem welcome. If you want to learn things, you will have the opportunity to do so. There is a lot of communication from the leadership team including regular town halls where employees can ask direct questions. The product is highly appreciated by customers and the market for our products is gigantic. This company has a bright future.

Cons

The company uses open floor plan seating, which can be rough if you have different sensory preferences.

Pros

One of OwnBackup's core vales is "culture is as important as results" and in my experience here this value holds true. Most people you see on a daily basis are in a super pleasant mood, and really care about make our workplace a positive place to be! On top of coworkers making our workplace enjoyable, the company will often sponsor happy hours, pop up coffee shops, donut days, and even summertime ice cream trucks. These little treats on top of things like free catered lunches, and great coffee around every corner really makes OwnBackup a truly enjoyable place to work!

Cons

Everyone organization will have their cons, for me cross functional communication between our global teams can be tricky. Sometimes seeing a slack message from somebody in London may brighten my phone at 3:00am. But that's to be expected with a global organization.

We love hearing your perspective on our culture and environment. We truly believe that culture is as important as results- it’s one of our core values as a company. It factors into every decision we make, especially when it comes to our people. The energy in our New Jersey HQ really is contagious! We do everything we can to keep our teams feeling motivated and positive while at work. Little things like great coffee, free lunch, pop-up food trucks, innovative technology, and a well-designed office can make a really big impact on the day-to-day. If you have any other thoughts, feel free to reach out to your HRBP. Thank you.
