Pros

We can work from home so the collective idiocy of the office/leadership doesn't permeate our brains.

Cons

-Entire "leadership" team has the collective IQ of an average 10 year old child -People get promoted despite failing miserably and being terrible in their old positions -CEO literally lives his life by day by day by mantras he finds on instagram -

Thank you for your insight here. While we are sorry to hear this was your experience here we do understand the work is never done to keep making Backbone a great place to work. We are working hard each day as a team to stay aligned and focus on what is important to us as a company. We have started numerous initiatives with a new leadership team to help improve employee satisfaction. We take this feedback seriously and continue to make sure we grow from it.

Pros

You get paid money at least

Cons

CEO only knows how to speak in meaningless buzzword jargon that makes no sense whatsoever. For working at a tech company, there's a shocking lack of understanding of technology. As others have said, it's a friends and family business. There's some highly unskilled people on the leadership team

We’re certainly sorry that this was your experience and wish you had shared some of these thoughts with us while there. In launching the company, Backbone leveraged personal networks for finding talent- as many startups do. Since taking our Series A, we have had the capital and opportunity to broaden our recruiting channels, and our recent hires are experienced execs from external sources with strong technology expertise that complements the current industry-relevant experience our founders bring to the table. Thanks for taking time to write a review and we wish you all the best.

Pros

- interesting space - met some cool brands

Cons

- unless you are a family member or friend of the founders, your job is unsafe - leadership team is lazy. Only speaks in buzzwords and empty platitudes. - highly unqualified people in the inner circle

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. While Backbone facilitates All Hands meetings and department weekly meetings for open dialogue and feedback, we will realize there are other methods and avenues that should be leveraged to share employees' thoughts. To that end, Backbone is deploying anonymous surveys to ensure every employee has the opportunity to provide inputs and to ensure Backbone is continuing to evolve to the needs of our employees.
