Carbonite is a leading provider of internet-based backup solutions for small businesses and individuals. In October 2014, Carbonite’s Boston team moved from their headquarters in the Back Bay of Boston to the Downtown Crossing neighborhood.
“Employees were part of the design process, which ensured the space fits the way Carbonistas like to work – with open workspaces, lots of common areas, and high-tech meeting rooms that ensure we can see and hear our colleagues in Silicon Valley, Maine and Germany”, said Carbonite
