Pros

I joined a few months ago and originally to work for Scalus (workflow automation software) that powers BackOps. Recently we merged as one company because selling a solution -- both the service delivery as well as the platform to run a company's accounting and HR services was more strategic. There is a real opportunity here to grow the business and become the "Uber" for accounting and HR. I was initially attracted to the CEO's mission to bring a million moms (and dads) back to work by building a marketplace for a remote workforce and connecting them to start-ups and other SMBs. What I've seen is that the entire team at BackOps is passionate about their work and I am genuinely excited to come to work everyday.

Kontras

As with most fast growing start-ups, there will be challenges executing. Budgets will be tight this year and expectations are super high. There is pressure to do a lot this year.

Thanks for your thoughtful review, as well as sharing your concerns. You are right -- we have a big year in front of us. We are actively working on improving how the remote workforce works with HQ and are looking forward to sharing these changes with the team! So keep an eye out! Thanks again for your feedback.

Pros

Great culture and lots of opportunities. I've been able to develop personally and professionally in more ways than I would have anticipated when I first joined the company. I am constantly being pushed beyond my comfort zone to learn and develop. The CEO and executive team care deeply about their employees and their clients.

Kontras

It can feel like there are a lot of changes, but nothing more than a typical start-up.

Pros

Perks are pretty good: free lunch, great location, and benefits. The engineers like to play foosball and the Wii to relax. Good career opportunities as well. I have a friend here that I saw get a promotion after three months. She worked her butt off for it though. If you work hard, then you get rewarded. The people here are intense but very friendly as well. The company is building a product that helps us work with clients and manage our work. The system used to be really bugged, but it's gotten a lot better and actually started helping. I like being a part of the process when the engineering team works on the product.

Kontras

Work-life balance is pretty tough here, but it's better than it used to be. When I joined, I was working from early morning to late at night. Since the new year, I'm back to a more normal work-life balance. Still, I could get a more comfortable job somewhere else. Since the company seems to be doing better and better, I'd want to stick it out. Some clients can be difficult. I know a coworker got yelled at by the CEO of one of our clients. No one deserves that treatment, but it goes with the job I guess. The good thing is the head of account management actually reprimanded the client.
