Pros

Amazing culture and connection with colleagues Everyone helps each other when problems raises

Cons

Management is stubborn and doesn't listen to their people. This happens because business grows really fast due to sales, and they don't look behind scenes for their employers. All company works around 2-3 people Salaries are low for other roles except developers

This is Jouk - CEO Backbase : @everybody that currently works at Backbase and feels like this - please talk with your manager or contact me directly for an informal coffee. It really makes me sad to see that some people feel like this. We are building Backbase together and want it to be a good / great place. For both our employees and customers. We grow fast, but growth is not our main goal - building something sustainable and meaningful is. Lets make sure we learn, fix, improve and enjoy the journey together.

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.

Pros

not many exist for sales execs in the US

Cons

lack of product fit in US market, leadership changes direction and strategy often, sales rigor is off the charts (MEDDPICC on steriods, etc)
