Pros

Great people, all working together and helping each other out.

Cons

Not a fun place to work. 1. None of the AEs even close to hitting quota attainment except 2 favorites thus a poor compensation structure. 2. Be prepared to get fired on the spot for no reason at all. 2. Get ready NOT to have a life! Work 10-12 hour days to hit 150 activities/day, attend pointless happy hours, experience burnout, and still NOT meet your sales goals. 3. Zero Career opportunities. Getting a promotion without success in your initial role is impossible. Their best BDR & AEs get promoted by favoritism. 4. Messy Salesforce environment. 5. Out of touch - No product market fit in an already crowded US market with no mission-critical differentiating features like LMS, Time & Attendance, Finance, Global Payroll, or Benefits.

Thank you for your feedback. We’ve replied to each point listed in order below: 1. Based on market conditions and feedback from Sales, we have already reduced our sales targets, making them more attainable. 2. We have very clear working hours to help staff keep their life-work balance, especially for our BDR team. While some people may choose to work longer hours, that is not an expectation that has been set by leadership. 3. It’s never ideal to part ways with staff, but like every other business with performance metrics, we have to make performance-based decisions. Sales performance in particular is tracked through specific and transparent KPIs. For AEs, those KPIs include quota attainment and pipeline generation, and for BDRs, the main KPI is SQL generation. Exit decisions are always considered extremely carefully based primarily on achievement of these KPIs. 4. Promotions are based on several factors, performance being the most significant factor. Promotion decisions have nothing to do with favoritism. They are always merit-based. 5. We’d love to better respond to point 4, however, we need more information about what specifically you perceive to be messy. 6. Our product fit is for multinational, mid-size, and modern companies - and we have many happy US customers. We are also always listening to clients and working on additional features and functionality. 7. We recently increased our US PTO benefit from 14 to 18 days per year. We also offer 4 Balance Days, 1 day off for birthdays, and 2 days off for volunteering - 25 days total, not including the 12 US company holidays and 8 sick days.

Pros

Cool product, colleagues are nice, events are fun to work.

Cons

They fire AEs, Sales Managers, and BDRs so much in the US that it's comical. You do not get a chance or the time to be successful, if your territory isn't familiar with "bob." You will be promised inbounds at a much higher clip than provided. They quote 70%/30% inbound/outbound activity is needed to be successful. You will receive the opposite at most, 30%/70% inbounds/outbound. The rich keep on getting rich while the poor starve and get fired...

Thank you for your review. It touches on several core aspects of the job and we’ll do our best to offer clear and honest feedback on each point. HiBoB, as a brand, is a startup. Like all startups, we have challenging goals. These goals, however, are based on strategic objectives which are informed by market dynamics. Sales quotas are designed to be challenging too, and like other sales organizations, our quotas are ambitious. While we have challenging goals, we have also lowered them in consideration of feedback from the sales team and current market conditions. And for a more balanced response, it’s important to note that we have very successful salespeople working in the US, evidence that while the AEs may have ambitious quotas, they are attainable. When we onboard salespeople, we do so to build successful teams. Sales performance, like performance in any other department in any other company, is tracked regularly. It’s the only effective way to work towards goals. And as with all businesses and sales organizations, performance gaps must be addressed and decisions are always made with care, and with the consideration of objective performance criteria at hand. Furthermore, we have taken steps to clarify performance standards so Bobbers know exactly how their performance is being measured and to increase alignment going forward.
