Pros

Backbase is very strong when it comes to client side development. Company had developed its own commercially successful JavaScript library in the past and overall JS remains its strong side. If you like Object Oriented Programming, design patterns, complex multi-module (yes, client-side) solutions, product rather than project development - Backbase R&D is the place for you.

Cons

Company is very dynamic and everything can change drastically over short period of time. Processes, initiatives and code conventions are subjects to constant change. Not all employees are well managed.

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)
