Pros

Product is selling a lot, based on promises of a great future. If versions become stable Good people in development team

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours as lots of fixes to base software will become your responsibility High turnover as people burn out and managers blame delivery teams Initially things always go great, but watch as things get tough when many extra hours are needed to compensate for flaky versions.

Thank you for leaving a review. The US is important to Backbase is this is why we are growing our local business as well as our teams. Just like you we think our Backbase teams are amazing. We are constantly improving how we are organized and optimizing both employee experience and our product. We are extremely proud of Backbase 6 and how our product is accepted worldwide, as well as how we are recognized as industry leaders. The Backbase product is ever expanding and we often act like explorers. The project teams and our products organization work closely together cross-continents to ‘keep nailing it’ – as our CEO always says - . This doesn’t mean we are perfect and never make mistakes, but that we see development of our product as a journey. Occasional struggles are part of this journey. Simon, VP of Business Services

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.
