Pros

International experience, different cultures, start up

Cons

Too limited in terms of products, professional skills,... No career path. Management is only busy counting the value of their stocks.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and leaving a review! We found it surprising that you felt we were limited in regards to our products and professional skills, did you share this feedback at all during your employment with us? We have not seen this type of feedback in other reviews, actually quite the opposite. Without knowing more information it’s challenging for us to provide you with a useful answer here. Your suggestion of changing both senior and lower management does sound quite drastic, we would prefer to help train and support our employees to achieve their very best. We are approaching the end of another great year with more customers and country reach so we must be doing something right ;-)

Pros

Extremely intelligent and high functioning work force. The ability to stand-out amongst with in a fairly flat org chart. Great culture - fun, smart, funny, flexible, supportive. Overall the company has a start-up feel, with resources and support of a larger company. Took a chance on this company over a year ago - moved cities, new career, new industry - and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. Voxbone is amazing and I am extremely lucky to work with such amazing people!

Cons

There is room for improvement operationally, but we are putting things in to place currently to solve this.

Thank you very much for your awesome review and for taking a chance and joining us. You are exactly the type of person we love to have at Voxbone. We've already enjoyed celebrating your successes with you and have seen you flourish into an outstanding team leader. We are truly lucky to have such talented people like yourself. We indeed do have operational improvements to make which has been a growing pain felt from scaling up quickly and globally and the operational side has needed to catch up, but we are getting there.

Pros

First of all, let me just note that training takes place in BELGIUM. That's right, they ship you off to Brussels for a couple weeks to get the lowdown. How cool is that?! Compensation is great. In fact, when I was offered the job they asked what I was looking to make and gave me MORE than the salary I submitted. Plus you get tonssss of benefits. And then there's the company culture: it RULES. Voxbone is a true melting pot making for a diverse and super interesting working environment. And to top it all off, despite the company's rather large size, you don't feel like a little fish in a big pond. You are noticed, you are heard, it's a company that takes care of its own!

Cons

Working in a satellite office you can sometimes feel a bit disconnected from the happenings of the headquarters. This is normal for any company with scattered locations. I feel very fortunate because Voxbone has been tremendously accommodating: I've been able to visit the main office in Brussels a couple times in the last year alone. This has afforded me the opportunity to reconnect in person with the rest of my team. :)

Wow, what a fantastic review to read. Thank you very much for sharing this feedback. We do look after our own, always have and always will. We are so pleased you enjoyed and made the most of your new starter induction in Brussels. We do aim to compensate our staff fairly and give them a chance to grow within their roles. You are proof of this! Having multiple offices in different continents is fantastic but it is also important that each employee feels valued and supported. We have great communication tools we use to stay in touch but we also recognize the importance of face to face time. We invest heavily in travel budgets to allow our employees to spend more time with their respective teams. Our executive team travel frequently to our offices to ensure they are in touch with the business and its needs. This year we are also arranging for our end of year party to take place in London and all employees are invited! What a great time for us to come together and celebrate our successes in 2018.
