Legitimately the worst place I have ever worked

Pros

free snacks, good location, boss paid for lunch

Cons

- Paid WAY under market rate - Lauhably incompetent leadership - CEO and sibling team a bunch of narcissists with no clue how to run their own company - No accountability - No organization - All 5 star reviews clearly written by management - While I was working there we were given zero direction, hopped from one task to the next and never finished anything- then got blamed by leadership for their lack of involvement and instruction. - All senior level staff and leads were "yes men" to CEO and siblings

Backbone (CO) Response

While there is no excuse for the past we are working hard everyday to make Backbone PLM the best place to work. We wish you all the best in your career!

Hardworking Caring People - Some Startup Challenges

Pros

The people at Backbone stand out as kind, hardworking and dedicated, across every department. Management treats people like people, not "resources" to be managed. Work life balance is good - much better than most start-ups.

Cons

Typical start-up challenges. People wearing multiple hats, some lack of stability, etc. New management has improved on some of the problems listed in other reviews - while keeping what was great.

Pros

Everyone on the team genuinely wants to see you succeed. I have never been a part of a team that champions each other as much as Backbone. It truly is an amazing culture. I always felt empowered and could ask for support if needed. Work / life balance is top notch and you are encouraged to take time off! The work is fulfilling and the team is amazing. They are quick to recognize talent and promote from within. Joining Backbone was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Cons

Just your typical start up pain points, nothing out of the ordinary!

Backbone (CO) Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Empowerment is a core value for the Backbone organization and we have been blessed to employ great talent over the years. With these reviews -- both positive and negative -- we will continue to listen, to build upon our strengths, and to improve upon our weaknesses.
