Great place to make an impact - werkgeversreview Product Manager bij Backtrace

Interesting work Supportive learning environment and helpful coworkers Solid financial footing Impressive and stable technology Proper remote work environment and communication styles Strong engineering culture

I was hesitant after reading the negative reviews here on glassdoor, but I've been pleasantly surprised to find that they do not accurately describe this company. They could probably have been true at an earlier point, but I think that the culture has evolved and is in a good place now.

* Company's product fills a critical need in the market. Backtrace is only two years old and the list of clients includes Nvidia, Comcast, and Fast.ly. Also two other huge tech companies I can't name without getting fired; their names start with letter A. * Startup with real revenues from real customers. * Technical challenges are hard. * There is a so much to learn and it is straightforward to take on more responsibilities. You can take on as much as you can handle.

* Work is demanding. Problems are hard, and we move fast. I have only worked for one other startup, and that one was more demanding, still... * Co-founders are not experienced managers and they are learning on the job. They got some people management stuff wrong early on but are paying a lot more attention to defining clear goals, performance management, and communications. I have seen a lot of improvement. * Not enough positive feedback from the top. Co-founders do talk about successes like winning Amazon's contract (huge!) but they often just want to jump to the next challenge. I do get that they want to satisfy the investors, but sometimes I think a keg party would be a nice touch :-).
