At OwnBackup, we empower our employees to own their work-life balance in a way that best suits their needs. We do this by offering our employees unlimited PTO, paid holidays, paid parental leave, and summer hours, where laptops shut and offices close at 1 p.m. on the last day of each workweek, worldwide. We also follow the hybrid working model, where employees work two days a week from home. We believe that this allows our team members to bring their best selves to work each day.

Our incredible teams drive us forward and allow us to offer our customers the best products on the market. We hire the best and the brightest talent available and provide them the environment and tools needed to succeed. At OwnBackup, one of our core values is “Culture is as important as results.” This is a bold statement, but one we stand by through various initiatives like unlimited PTO, summer hours, professional development, team building events, and great benefits. A second value is “We build trust through transparency.” We do this by soliciting honest and anonymous feedback from our employees to understand their sentiments about what it’s like to work at OwnBackup. This allows us to create action plans that will not only fill any existing gaps in the employee experience but resolve any concerns that are brought to our attention. We are committed to building trust and culture at OwnBackup.

We place a big emphasis on building our culture by creating opportunities for camaraderie and connection. We believe that culture is as important as results, in fact, it's one of our core values as a company. We understand the need for a healthy work-life balance and offer unlimited PTO so that each employee can achieve a work-life balance unique to their needs. We’ve also just launched summer hours, giving employees a jump start on their weekends all season long.
