      Pros

      Office is great and that’s all

      Cons

      Progression is rubbish, they will happily make you miserable enough to want to leave but promise that there will be no redundancies, clever. So many of my team have now left the company. Not one person hits target as a bdr, commission structure is terrible. They have introduced new KPI’s which are unattainable considering how many other things we are expected to do whilst AE’s sit there demanding more. Everyone has the same target and they don’t take into account that some regions such as Nordics are a lot easier to work with. The salary is rubbish, if you look at how much other companies are paying, hibob are getting away with it because they hire fresh out of uni people who haven’t got a clue. Don’t be fooled by the “culture”, there isn’t one unless you count Thursdays happy hour then great. There are 3 sales managers for the SDR’s and BDR’s and only one of them is good, he needs a raise. They have been losing great team members and the team has gotten smaller overall and the office dynamic is awful. It was two days a week in the office, one mandatory team day and one optional and now they have made agendas for two days so you have to go in for both and cannot choose the second day anymore. I dread going into the office now. I will be looking for other companies to work for because I have seen how they have treated other sdr’s and bdr’s and it’s a matter of time before I’m next.

      We’d like to point out that top management reads every single review and responds personally. We’d like to assure you we have zero control over who posts reviews on this platform, nor what they decide to post. We can only respond to it as honestly and transparently as we can. We’re fully aware that there have been issues in some departments and are working hard to resolve them. The steps we are planning to take will be shared with the relevant departments and their full input will be considered before any final decisions are made. We’re trying our best to ensure that we don’t lose good people. We’re sorry you felt that airing your concerns here was your only recourse and that’s why we want you to know that we took note of every word. We are only empowered to act when we have all the facts at our fingertips and can make informed decisions with the people involved. We strongly urge you to reach out to your direct manager or your People & Culture Partner to share your concerns with them directly. We’d like to know that your concerns have been addressed, you enjoy coming to work each day, and feel that you have a future with the company.

      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.
