Pros

You get experience fairly quickly if you need to ramp up your sales experience. Fun product to show and cool tools to get acquainted with to help with your future jobs.

Cons

As a relatively new entrant in the US market with a unique name, hibob is facing challenges in gaining traction and expanding its customer base as expected. Despite putting in a lot of effort, progress has been slow and there have been few leads and new customers. Furthermore, the compensation provided by the company to its salespeople is not competitive, which is surprising given that hibob has secured several rounds of funding. Many lies from multiple people in the company and multiple people being fired for no real reason other than not being the right fit. a hand full of folks were fired a few days before Christmas and heard some even had HR complaints out that fell on deaf ears and then they ended up fired. TERRIBLE for an HR-focused company

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our product grows as we grow. Going into any new market is a challenge, but we have made huge strides with our product by listening to our US-based prospects and customers, and we have confidence in our ability to bring our vision to the US. We have received great reviews and feedback for our product from our US customers too. We constantly aim to provide competitive compensation across Hibob as this is at the heart of looking after our bobbers and treating everyone fairly. The compensation we offer is constantly benchmarked and reviewed at a local level by our people & finance teams, taking into account the external market. If you are unhappy with any aspect of your compensation and are a current employee, please do get in touch with your people partner. We also carry out regular employee surveys throughout the year to identify and act on our bobber’s feedback. In the most recent surveys we have had strong feedback scores on our teams feeling a sense of pride, intent to stay with the business and the belief that Hibob has a great future. We aim to be transparent with our sales teams about how their performance is measured so that decisions can be made on an objective basis. This is taken into account with performance and management reviews. Our people team are dedicated to make sure the wellbeing of all bobbers is the number one priority during any review process. Overall we are committed to growing in the US and it is a key market for us moving forward.

Pros

-la croix water in the office

Cons

This company is a complete nightmare. All positive reviews are from management trying to save face. From my first day, the culture was toxic and unwelcoming. There is absolutely no diversity in the workplace, which was incredibly disheartening. There is a homogenous (very white) work environment. All the people of color in the company have always felt out of place. The management team was authoritarian and unsupportive, and they played favorites with certain employees. Individuals with no leadership experience were promoted. Middle management was also hired - most with no technical experience leading technical teams. There is a cover yourself culture - so better make sure to take screenshots of all interactions because everything you do will be used against you (yes, they are reading your slack messages). If you have your own opinions, go somewhere else. Anybody that's not a "yes man" will be let go. Besides the lack of diversity and horrible management, this company has no future. The product was built for Israeli and EU companies. There is no product market fit in the US. They let go at least 7 sales people right before the Thanksgiving holiday. The sales target for the US were unreachable. Look on the public company website and there are no notable brands signed on. Down sells are extremely common due to the product being mis sold. The company doesn't even use most if its own product that we advertise so well. No merit increases were announced at the holiday party after the company had a lavish holiday party. All of us were in shock because we would rather have cash in our pockets than a taco bar. The company is also forcing an in-office culture. The reasoning being "we accidentally bought this big office" and not because of collaboration. Office snacks (if ever stocked) are comparable to homeless shelter food. Moreover, all engineering and product teams are based in the EU. Be prepared to wake up early and stay late to fix issues. There was also a big incident in the company where management pushed out an employee and tried to hide it from the team despite everyone knowing. On the outside, the customer success team looks like they are a big happy family but everyone mistrust management. Looking in on their team, it seems no one can speak their mind because they will be let-go. Lastly, let's not forget the "me too" incident that this company had. Google Hibob Sexual harassment and read all about it. If you are looking for a job with a positive work environment, diverse group of colleagues, and a company with a future, steer clear of this company. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We value every opinion, and hear your pain. If you are a current employee, please let us help in any way. No one should feel like that in their workplace. That said, the feedback on your onboarding and the culture really shocked us. Your comments touch on a number of aspects of working with HiBob, and we’d like to address them one by one, and also clarify some inaccuracies in your review. DEI&B is, and has always been a priority for HiBob. We’re committed to helping companies embed DEI&B in every step of their employee journey, and ensure equal opportunity for everyone. We are proud that we have over 50 nationalities represented at HiBob globally. In the US, our employee base is made up of 65% white and 35% non-white employees, and 60% of our people managers are female. We track both of these data points closely and we are constantly striving to improve them. Our product grows as we grow. Going into any new market is a challenge, but we have made huge strides with our product by listening to our US-based prospects and customers, and we have confidence in our ability to bring our vision to the US. Like all startups, our sales targets are ambitious. We have a number of highly successful salespeople within the US, and we track their performance closely and adjust targets as appropriate. With that in mind, we recently lowered quotas in the Americas in response to feedback from sales leadership and in consideration of current market conditions. We’re also very transparent with sales teams about how their performance is measured so that decisions can be made on an objective basis. Respectfully, your points regarding event budgets & Slack surveillance are simply untrue. We do hope that if you are still employed with HiBob that you raise these points with your People & Culture Partner so we can clarify any misinformation you may have heard. We would also like to assure you that every review is read and responded to, and we have no control over who posts reviews to this platform - good or bad. We can’t claim that we get everything right, but we are continually working on addressing issues that have been raised in some departments.
