      Great Place to Grow Your Sales Career – Strong Culture, Generous Commission, and Exciting Cyber Offering

      Pros

      Backbone Connect is a fantastic place to work if you're ambitious, motivated, and looking to progress your sales career in tech. The company genuinely invests in its people—from regular training and coaching to fast-tracking high performers into leadership roles. I personally went from Senior BDM to Sales Manager in my 4 years there thanks to clear performance goals and strong internal support. The commission structure is generous and transparent, and high achievers are properly rewarded. Management has done a great job in building a positive, collaborative culture—there’s a strong team spirit, and success is always recognised. One of the most exciting developments is our growing cybersecurity proposition, which is gaining real traction in the market. It’s opened up new opportunities for engaging with larger, more complex clients and has made the sales conversations much more strategic.

      Cons

      It’s a fast-paced environment, so you need to be proactive and able to manage your own pipeline and targets. Not a con if you’re self-driven, but it won’t suit everyone.

We’re really pleased to hear that you experienced the development opportunities and internal progression that we work hard to create. Supporting ambitious people to grow their careers (whether through training, coaching, or leadership opportunities) is something we place a lot of importance on. It’s also great to hear your comments about the team culture and recognition of success. As a performance driven business we aim to create an environment where people who are motivated and proactive can do their best work and be rewarded for it. Our cybersecurity services continue to be a major focus for the business and it’s exciting to see the impact they’re having for our clients and the opportunities they create for our team.

      Amazing place to work - but some growing pains

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Learning and development from day 1. - Really supportive management and team culture despite individual targets. - Excellent office and well done hybrid working policy. - Founders are clearly still excited about the business. - Good pay and holiday time. - Clear commission structure and triggers for progression. - Excellent communication between different business areas.

      Cons

      Basically all growing pains. - Some teams do not have enough staff, leading to people working after business hours and skipping lunch breaks. Hiring is happening, so I hope this will be temporary. - Processes which presumably worked very well when the company was small can be frustrating to use and lack of automation/integration wastes time hunting things down. - Sometimes it's unclear who is responsible for what e.g. keeping information updated, scheduling, maintaining online systems.
