Backblaze reviews

Thank you for the feedback, which is appreciated. I understand you are no longer with Backblaze, but would appreciate hearing from you. Please reach out to me directly via email. If you don't have my email, one of your prior colleagues should be able to find it for you. I absolutely want to understand the issues and make sure we improve. - Robert Fitt, HR

Thank you for your contribution; we appreciate your concerns. The changes introduced over the last few years ensure that we are a solid and sustainable company in the long term. We’ve tried to do this transparently during all-hands meetings and through written communications. I understand that times of change can create uncertainty and concern, especially for those who’ve been with the company through multiple growth phases. We are expanding our global presence and looking to hire the best talent worldwide. This includes expanding our hiring efforts globally. While this has been communicated previously, we acknowledge some may need further information. Leadership decisions - particularly around team structure - are not taken lightly. That said, your concerns around fairness and transparency are essential to understand. Any allegations of unethical behavior or compromised performance processes are taken seriously. We encourage you to share more through internal channels, including your HR Business Partner or our anonymous reporting tool (TinyPulse) if you're open to it. If you feel that your individual performance review was improperly conducted or disagree with your supervisor’s assessment, please let your business partner or HR know so they can investigate. We’re also onboarding a new employee growth and development tool that should provide a broader view of feedback and drive more conversations. - Robert Fitt, HR (sorry for the wall of text, Glassdoor doesn't allow line breaks)
