Pros

There are two big departments in Backbase: R&D and Expert Services. R&D department delivering a product and ES integrating it and consulting customers. It is possible to move inside departments and teams if you suddenly don't like working in other group. Company gives ability to grow professionally and to embody your ambitions. Salary indexed every year based on peer review and PDP review. If you perform well salary will be increased up to 6% otherwise you get 2% rise. Colleagues are very professional and you can really learn a lot in this environment. Scrum methodology allows to fill less pressure on the process. Company provides with nice free lunch in the office and snacks/cookies/drinks during a day. Backbase encourage self education and compensate books and conferences.

Cons

If you want to negotiate for some special conditions or advantages to yourself do it before signing contract. Company growing and that causing some instability and unclarity. Not much collaboration at the moment between groups, but this getting better. Backbase don't hold people much

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.
