Please, pardon my cynicism, but this isn't the first and won't be the last backdoor we see in our legitimate, hardly-earned apps and devices. Just to refresh our memory, we can start from the most recent one, the new Amazon's Big Brother Kindle [1][2].

But we have an entire plethora of backdoored software and services, such as PGP Disk Encryption [3][4], ProFTPD [5] or Hushmail [6], to name a few.

And don't forget the OSes: M$ is always ahead with its NSA_KEY [7][8], but also OpenBSD [9] and the Linux kernel [10] can't be considered 100% safe. We also have paid attempts to gain a backdoor access to Skype by NSA [11], that, however, has been assessed as "architecturally secure" [12].

Moving down to firmware, nowadays we are almost acclimatized in having people from our ISP that are able to watch inside our routers (yes, maybe even see our beloved WPA password), but these [13][14][15] can surely be considered as backdoors too!

Finally, a few considerations on hardware and BIOSes [16], and (this is both funny and somehow dramatic) EULAs [17][18], because also lawyers have their backdoors.

Ok, given this preamble, I'll try to answer to the question briefly. No, you're not wrong getting mad for this thing, but you should focus your anger on the correct motivation. You should be angry because you lost a piece of trust towards the company you work for, not for the fact of the backdoor itself (leave this anger to the customers).

And if I were you, I'll just be very cautious. First, I'll make really really sure that what I saw was a backdoor, I mean legally speaking. Second, I'll try in any way to convince the company to remove the backdoor.

You probably signed a NDA [19] with your company so your question here could be already a violation. However I don't know where the NDA ends and your state law begins (it could be even customer fraud), and probably, due to the technicality of the subject only a highly specialized lawyer could help you with this matter. So, if you want to proceed, before doing anything else, even talking to the authorities, you should hire a very skilled lawyer and be prepared to lose a lot of time and money, or even the job.
