Hey Backbase folks! 👋

I’ve recently received an offer from Backbase for a role in the Services Department, and I’m quite excited! , I wanted to reach out to the community to get some real insights.

Could you please share your experience regarding:

How’s the work culture at Backbase?
What’s it like working in the Serviced Department?
How’s the work-life balance and team collaboration?
What kind of perks and benefits do employees typically get?
Any insights on growth opportunities

TIA

What is the worst thing a reasonable person could do at a job interview and why is that so bad? (I mean a mistake even the best of us could commit)

Made the pivot from Big 4 to Bain and frankly underwhelmed. Seems like Bains Ops capabilities / general knowledge resources / white papers are lagging the industry quite a bit. Miles behind BCG / McKinsey as well. Literally only good for PE and nothing else.

Is it just me or is everyone in this industry in a relationship?

Do you look for your gut to tell you if a job is the right job?

How long does it take for bonuses to be paid out after your performance outcome has been communicated at other firms?

Our comp system is slightly complex so we know promotions Dec-Jan while bonuses are paid out late Feb-Early March (aka 2-3 months)

Edit: Performance year ends in September (so total process is 5-6 months)

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

I started a job less than a year ago, and I am certain that this is not the work I want to be doing in the medium or long run. How soon is too soon to leave?

SAP 🐠, If you have a chance for a “do-over” in your SAP career, what would you specialize? OTC? PTP? Finance?

Is there a "too old" stage to pursue a master's? Currently 25, 3 YOE

Will Coforge pay the variable as quoted ? If yes what’s the frequency of pay Like half yearly or annual?

What is DD like?

Men of FB, how did making more money / getting older change your dating life?
