      Pros

      I want to like this company but working out of the NY office it often feels like we work for a completely different company.

      Cons

      The leadership is unorganized, the office is messy, the communication about any kind of change is pretty terrible, and if you try to share your concerns they just fall on deaf ears. You see the other offices and they look way better run. They have better events, better leadership, just better all around. So HiBob seems like an awesome company, but the US seems pretty average and it feels like a lot of the people in charge don’t really care about making it better or don't have the skills to do it. Even HR leadership seems in over their head and disingenuous. Also for a tech company in the US, the benefits like traveling per diem, wellness stipend, learning stipend, are horrible.

      Thank you for your review. You raise a number of points in your review which concern us as they go against all the efforts & hard work that has gone into building our US team. We’ve invested heavily in our leadership team, with 33% of HiBob’s global executive leadership team based in the US. In addition, we have also hired 3 new global VP’s based in the US to support our sales & marketing org. We take employee feedback seriously and our People & Culture team actively engage with all Bobbers to understand how we can work together to improve the environment for everyone. We have an open door policy which is on top of the 30-day new hire surveys, 90-day check-ins, quarterly surveys, monthly HR-manager syncs and ad-hoc meetings with bobbers to keep a pulse on the employee experience. We also host team and all US feedback sessions which include timeline commitments & dedicated actions plans. Our People & Culture team have invested heavily in organising and hosting events for the whole US team, including our recent summer party in NYC which saw Bobbers from across the US come together to celebrate their success outside of the office which included events & activities for all. We’ve grown a lot in the past year which has put some strain on our office space but we are actively working to improve on it, including introducing ShareBite to streamline and improve the weekly lunch experience. We appreciate your comments on benefits, this is something that is reviewed and worked on every year, particularly as we grow. If there is anything else specifically that we could do to improve or any suggestions that you have we want to hear it. We strongly encourage you to discuss with your manager and/or people & culture partner.

      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!

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!

      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.
