Pros

Firstly, I really enjoy working at Hibob, it's what I was sold during the interview and what I'm looking for. The US team - a really good group of people who want to help each other. Easy access to senior leadership Potential to be the 'next big thing' in HR systems Massive opportunity in the US market We are building the airplane as we fly it - it's exciting but not for everyone

Cons

This is a startup - expect to do things outside your job description. You are selling a concept as opposed to a fully finished solution They are still building out the organization so expect internal friction from time to time If you want to sell an established solution or only work in a role with clearly defined parameters, this probably isn't for you

Thanks for your note. We ARE the next big thing in HR systems! It surely is an exciting time and opportunity to be part of our ambitions and plans to grow strong in the US market, as we have already done in Europe. I am happy to hear you’re feeling a connection to the team and senior leadership. These are two key ingredients to success and job satisfaction. Our leadership - and all bobbers - are in the trenches every day ‘building the plane’ as you say and - for our nearly 200 employees and 700 clients - it’s taking off! Thanks for being a part of this journey and for understanding that the intermittent turbulence is a necessary part of the ride. We get through it and fly better as a result. It helps keeps us focused on the things we must do for our people, our clients and the market.

Pros

Does Glassdoor have a character limit? Honestly, this is the best company to work at. The people are absolutely incredible. Super smart and supportive, it’s a great combo. I love our office lunches, perks (gym/wellness stipend for example) and just overall good vibes. Product is massive so definitely know that there’s more to learn everyday. That’s the beauty though, it’ll never be boring.

Cons

No cons - more like suggestion. Bigger office so we can come in more!

Creating an environment where smart, supportive people can do great work together is something we care deeply about. We also love your point about the product — there’s always more to learn, and that’s what keeps things exciting. And noted on the bigger office suggestion. We love that you want to come in more! Thanks again for being part of the Bob journey.

Pros

Fully remote environment with a lot of flexibility. Most people across the organization are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive to work with.

Cons

There is a continued narrative around an upcoming IPO that does not feel grounded in current market realities, especially given broader trends where even much larger, much more established companies are holding off. Stop saying it is coming...it's likely not for a very long time if ever. The product was USED TO BE highly differentiated, but the HRIS space has become much more competitive and many alternatives now offer similar or better capabilities. In the U.S. market specifically, some of the company’s core messaging around culture and DEI does not resonate as strongly with buyers as it may have in the past. Things have shifted here and companies are not focused on this anymore. Payroll was highly anticipated but has not met expectations, and its limited adoption has made it harder to position as a strength in sales cycles. Even HiBob doesn't use it's own payroll to pay our employees. From a go-to-market perspective, there are challenges in selling upmarket. The brand and product positioning is not aligned with enterprise expectations, which creates additional friction in longer, more complex sales cycles. Leadership tends to stay optimistic about these dynamics but could benefit from more direct acknowledgment of market feedback and competitive realities. It's not working in the US at all. It never really has.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you value the flexibility of our remote working arrangements and the collaborative culture we encourage across the organization. Regarding the US market, it's true that there has been a major shift. However, the US remains one of our largest growth opportunities and we're ensuring a better product-market fit as we aim to scale. Our messaging is evolving to better reflect this. We appreciate the honest perspective on payroll, positioning, and the competitive outlook. These are areas we evaluate on a regular basis, and we're actively working on a more defined proposition and greater brand awareness. Finally, we're unable to use our own Payroll product to ensure the confidentiality of our employees' data. This is best practice amongst payroll organizations.
