Pros
Before COVID started, free beer and Friday lunches were good. Oh, and they send you Birthday cake truffles for your birthday.
Cons
Where to start... 1) WooHoo emails....you will get bombarded daily about wins and opportunities created....and instead of people replying to the people involved in the win, they email the entire company, you are stuck in a never-ending email chain of fake happiness 2) The sheer amount of meetings with no actionable items. This company loves to "share best practices" when in most cases, larger companies have had discussions about backing up their data and you simply got lucky with timing...but let's host an enablement meeting on how you got that luck..... 3) Management has no clue to connect to people nor have a sense of the pulse of their employees. At best they are a bunch of glorified dashboard readers and do not inspire any of their employees to go out and give it their all or address easily fixable problems 4) If you get the right territory, you will succeed, if you don't, you won't. Do not expect any assistance from the marketing team, as since COVID started, putting together a webinar that 20 people may attend to get a free gift card seems like a big ask. 5) The opportunity for growth is almost non-existent at best. They love to hire externally and lately have hired a ton of middle managers while chopping pay for newer sales hires. 6) They handled COVID extremely poorly, as if it did not exist. Several employees got COVID and many knew those who died from it, but their focus is getting back to the office for more fake culture. Speaking of the office, no one is wearing masks and the CEO is expanding and spending even more money on it, so while the rest of the world is turning to more work from home (from a happiness and better life balance) OwnBackup is going to force you back for some more "culture"
