      Pros

      There are many great people that join because they believe in the mission that the product sets to deliver (a great company culture, dei transparency, etc)... but keep reading

      Cons

      Top down trickles down horrible behaviors. They would rather hire someone based on industry experience even if they treat others very very poorly.  Positive reviews are probably from white cis gender men (or fake, too new to see the reality, etc). Most leaders fit that criteria (white male) and those are the most valued and the most heard. This is clear over and over again. They want everything to be cohesive globally but it actually slows down other regions and doesn’t always make sense for that region which hinders success.  Very little empathy from upper Mgmt. It’s all about numbers and you better deliver fast before you are even fully ramped and fit the perfect mold of the type of person they want. If not, good luck. Diversity of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, thought, etc is NOT embraced. You might get hired but you will not thrive. You will not be listened to. There is no growth path for you. They are not willing to look internally and make change. The only thing you can do is leave.  This is a problem and a PATTERN. How many times does this have to happen to stop blaming your employees for YOUR actions/attitudes that are the actual root cause.

      Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are sad to hear this was your experience at HiBob, and we appreciate the constructive feedback you shared in your submission. In reading your review, we hear two priority areas based on your time at HiBob – first being to continue to magnify the voices of our diverse employees, and the second being to ensure cohesion across our global workforce does not get in the way of moving quickly as individual offices in different countries. I assure you that both of these are of the utmost importance to HiBob and we continue to make strides each and every day. We now have over 750 Bobbers representing a vast array of nationalities and backgrounds. We recognise the ED&I is an ongoing journey and we are proactively taking steps to ensure that all bobbers are recognised and represented, regardless of their background. This year we have rolled out our first ERG for the LGBTQIA+ community, and we are in the process of building other ERG’s for other groups too.

      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!

      Wow, thank you for this amazing review! We’re so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the people, culture, office lunches, perks, and overall vibe at HiBob. 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.
