We appreciate you sharing your experience working at OwnBackup. One of our company values is “We care about everything we do,” and it's the driving force behind our policies and processes. Our people are our best asset, and we do everything we can to help them thrive. In addition to our PTO, we just launched summer hours. We believe this is a great way to honor work-life balance and show our team that we care about them as people, not just professionals. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying our complimentary lunch. We know, it’s too good!

Pros

The experience of working at OwnBackup has provided me with the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally over the course of my employment. It follows processes which are tailored to each position, emphasizes positive feedback, and rewards employees for their dedication to their careers. It is also a company that aims to maintain ethical values by ensuring the sustainability and satisfaction of its employees as well as the integrity of the company. The company is dynamic and fast-paced, and as a result, motivates its employees through the use of training programs, off-site, leadership development programs, and workplace experiences. It provides a friendly working environment that satisfies the needs of employees and consumers alike.

Cons

We do not have 24 flavors of ice cream in the office :-) - Israelis will understand the joke.

Thank you for your well-thought-out sentiment. We appreciate your comment about our training programs, leadership development programs, offsite events and fun workplace experiences. We truly believe that culture is as important as results, and that this belief sets us apart from the rest. We’re always looking for new ways to motivate and celebrate our employees.

Pros

There's no doubt that OwnBackup has a decent product set although there's been a lot of confusion about overall direction recently. Job perks are great - unlimited PTO and catered lunches encourage you to go the office but take time out when you need to, which most people do responsibly. Hard work and success are recognised.

Cons

The mass redundancies at the end of last year have made people fearful that more is to come. Several employees have left recently and many are demoralised by what is seen as misguided leadership, particularly in the EMEA region.

We offer our employees perks that make managing their work-life balance easier. We provide free shuttles to and from NYC, free lunch and coffee at the office, a fitness center, dry cleaning services, and on-site salon services like massages, manicures, pedicures, blowouts, and haircuts. Our employees enjoy happy hours, sit/stand desks, and even meetings in our outdoor conference room. They also enjoy unlimited PTO, summer hours, professional development opportunities, and internal career mobility. Like many in the Tech Industry last year, we had to make hard decisions to ensure our continued success in changing external circumstances. We have a positive outlook moving forward and are positioned for continued growth and success.
