Good work-life balance overshadowed by poor engineering culture - Senior Backend Engineer HiBob Employee Review

-The team is incredibly collaborative, and people are always willing to help each other succeed. -Leadership genuinely invests in internal mobility. There are clear career pathways, and managers actively support growth and development opportunities within the organization. -Senior leadership is transparent and approachable. They do a great job communicating the reasoning behind organizational or process changes and show a high level of empathy toward both individual contributors and managers. -The product is constantly evolving and improving based on customer feedback and industry trends. It's refreshing to work for a company that is so customer-centric and committed to continuous innovation.

-Cross-functional collaboration could benefit from more standardized documentation outlining the best channels and processes for working across teams. -Information is spread across multiple resource repositories, which can make it difficult to find the most up-to-date guidance. Consolidating documentation into a single, centralized knowledge base would improve efficiency and consistency.

Culture, work/life balance, compensation and perks. It is clear HiBob cares a lot about its employees and ensuring everyone feels welcome, valued and set up for success. Customers love the product, which builds confidence when selling the platform. But what stands out the most are the little perks that really differentiate HiBob from other companies: first Friday off after every end-of-quarter, a day off for your birthday, honoring every US holiday, in-person events (sales kickoff, spring event, etc), conference attendance, generous PTO allowance (coupled with EOQ and birthday days off). Aside from all of this, the ability to exceed your OTE is incredibly attainable if you put in the work.

The US is a growing market so brand recognition, prospecting, networking, etc. is a big focus. However with that is massive opportunity. Sales cycles can be long, but that’s normal for this space. As HiBob grows, there are growing pains for internal processes and how to make things more efficient. But that can be said for any scaling org, and management is always welcoming feedback.
