Does getting reblogged on Tumblr offer any positive/powerful backlinks?

This would be under the assumption that our company blog was hosted on tumblr.

Reblogging with reference to the primary source is one way of getting good backlinks, but I would suggest writing a fresh piece on tumblr with excerpts and discussions on the company blog's post. That would add more value.

The positive & powerful part of Tumblr is in the engagement & interaction with the Tumblr community. They are all about sharing and reblogging interesting stuff.

Right, I understand that part, but do those reblogs help for seo purposes?

I have not used it as a particular strategy; however, I believe it does because I have seen positive effects from competitors & others using it to good effect. That is how I made the inference above is from observation of others linking profile & rankings.
