Backbone (CO) Reviews

- On call 24/7 (expect to have your vacations interrupted) - Everything feels disorganized (including job discriptions) - Management are all siblings (no one to discuss other management issues too) - Employees are cliquey - CEO is pompous w/ high need for instant gratification - CEO consistently cancels meetings and wastes other peoples time

- Company is insanely wrought with nepotism (leadership team is 90% family and very close friends and the only people to get promoted are these people no matter how valuable another employee might be to the company.) This is not a startup where the best and brightest work - it's where you get a job if you're related to or close buddies with the CEO (therefore this startup is not thriving or destined for startup greatness.) This was a concern of mine when I first joined, though, I went against my better judgement only to be proven that this simply is not good for any company. - CEO and the leadership team lacked demonstrated leadership skills OR the ability to hustle as you would expect in ANY early stage company. It was truly disappointing to see in action. Instagram personas are more important to these "co-founders" than actually working hard. This is evident by the actual promised product being well over 2 years late. (clients left as a result of this.) - CEO does not possess the ability to actively listen to anyone. He lacks general authenticity and or the ability to exercise good judgement in running an early stage startup. It would be nearly impossible to create something great with someone who lacks the vision, judgement, and ultimately the hustle.
