      Pros

      Great tech stack for the sales rep. They don't pinch pennies on providing the tools needed to perform your responsibilities. Awesome colleagues, even better managers,

      Cons

      Not sure where to begin...I guess at the top. The executive team has zero clue what they are doing. Talk about insanity. They keep hiring and firing AEs and praying for a different result. You're promised 70% inbound leads you get about 10-15%. This didn't bother me much, but you have to take this into account and adjust the quotas. I closed the most in the US in q3 and was laid off before q4 even ended. It's a company that claims they help and retain your most valuable assets (your people) but yet they can't retain any of their people. In addition, I had no warning, no PIP, just laid off 3 days before the holidays...

      Thank you for acknowledging the pros. We're very appreciative of our amazing team. We’d like to address the cons you’ve raised as best we can. It’s important to point out that the view from inside a team, department, or region doesn’t necessarily reflect what’s going on in the company as a whole. Recently, our management team has had to make some tough decisions. It’s never done lightly and is carried out according to the letter of the law. We are sympathetic to your situation and fully intend to look into the issues you’ve raised here. We encourage you to reach out to annie.rosencrans@hibob.io providing full details of your concerns around your recent termination so we can ensure that you’ve been treated fairly and in line with our contractual obligations. We aim to treat all employees, current and former, equitably and with the respect they deserve.

      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!

      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.
