Globant reviews

Globant senior leadership tends to only promote Argentinian Men, very sexist and racist company to work for. Many of those who sit in senior leadership are not even qualified to do their jobs which makes it worse, the company is plagued with favoritism. This is greedy organization they do not care about ethics of running good business practices. I am in the US as a Senior Web UI and Globant is nothing more than a glorified Cheap StaffAug company. They don't pay well and fail to give consistent cost of living increases, no career paths and you are treated like a second class citizen on client sites. The US HR team has made tremendous strides in trying to clean up the mess but they get absolutely NO Support from Senior Management. It's time to Grow Up Globant or you will be sued due to poor ethics, business practices, or get hit with a sexual harassment case with the foul things I've seen at company events. Even American strong senior leaders they hire turn out to leave Globant after less than a year once they find out how poorly this company is ran with a bunch "not the smartest group" of people running the company in Argentina. My two cents... Don't waste your career at this toxic place, I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt but it's really gone from bad to worse, I am looking to get out of this zoo!

Almost everything was fine until one of their largest clients changed the rules, no more travel expenses for the employees of Globant and payment rates according to the market, so Globant had to cut benefits to their employees and things went wrong. Career opportunities don't exist here, you are hired to fit on a required position within one of their clients, once the project is finished you are not needed anymore, unless a new client requires a person with the same skills as yours. It's important to mention that most people are introduced to the clients as experts. Any tool, language or skill you may have worked/studied, you are sold as an expert on it; so expectations from costumers are very high and you may end up screwing up your career. Management communication is imprecise, they abuse of lies to gain time before things turn really bad. There are many examples of this, but most of them are related to benefits; for instance plane tickets are purchased one or two days before the trip, this happens because they get the employees to give up their vacation plans and save money to the company. Negotiations are not fair, so people that threat on resigning get more benefits, but officially everyone is treated with respect and professionalism. Another example of this topic is people that were assigned to projects where your skills or experience don't fit, so you don't cover client expectations and your performance is not assessed correctly. Management will say in the meantime that a new project is available for you in no time and when you lay off is ready the truth will be revealed. Feedback from management does not exist, you work for a client and your feedback is evaluated according to benefits you ask for, the less benefits you have, the better employer you are. No respect for personal life, you are a good employee while you can put hours on the records used to invoice their customers. This is just a quick summary of my experience with this company, no need to talk about undergone situations while working with them.
