HiBob reviews

they take advantage of employees at every turn. fear mongering, oppressive culture. the product actually has a lot of major flaws they don't tell you about until it's too late because you're already there

This company has so much money for the amount of time they’ve been around and they sure know how to burn through it due to idiocracy (paying contingency fees for recruiting firms, onboarding employees and firing them 3 months later, hiring unnecessary consultants, and much more). They need A LOT of help in every single regard of business, budgeting, and execution. The product has a nice looking UI, but that’s about it. UX is awful!!!! You’ll hear feedback from customers and employees saying that it is so slow that it barely functions! Product managers have no clue about the day-to-day of HR, and that reflects in the product’s functionality - they follow what competitors are doing but position themselves as a ‘next-gen’ system. Bob is a tool really made for SMBs; 100 employees or less. They are living in a dreamworld and think they can win business from the Workdays of the world. Be careful of working with people who do shady business. Treating everyone like soldiers/dogs and expect them to go 150% day in and day out. Israel is the only office that seems like there is a sense of culture (favoritism much?). This is, and will always be, an Israeli company stuck in their ways (also reflects in the product). No one else can have input - if you’re not in, you’re out. They always seem to know what’s right, even when wrong. They will sell you the dream, promise you the world, and leave you to rot for their own greater good. Be wary in your interviews because you’ll only hear the positives. UK has ran through 4 Managing Directors in 1.5 years, demoted a handful of people, experienced tons of voluntary departures, and that office is imploding (in addition to NYC). By the way, none of this info is communicated internally - you’ll only find out through word of mouth. Don’t get me started on culture. Culture? What’s that? You mean grinding for 9 straight hours, no off-sites, no retreats, no team outings/happy hours, no lunch, no professional development, no business travel (unless in C/VP)…straight bootcamp style. “More calls, more emails, more prospecting” is what you’ll hear. This company is a revolving door and you can see that from all the recent departures the past 6 months. There is ZERO brand awareness and the company has been operating in the US for a year already. Each office essentially operates as its own entity and barely knows one another. It’s a constant war when it comes to communication. Every day is an internal battle. It’s literally a Civil War out there and a running joke throughout entry/mid-level employees (can’t joke with management or else they’ll fire you too). Sure they were growing when I was there, but that doesn’t mean it is positive growth. No team has hit their targets since I’ve been here, London office is imploding and has had tons of turnover, comp plans were altered to negatively affect reps, and about 65-70% of its employees are actively applying/keeping open ears about other opportunities. TL;DR - Have a lot of money - don’t know how to use it effectively. Have US presence - still no one knows what this company is. Have gone through great growth in 2017 - no team has hit targets the past year. They have many chefs in the kitchen - not enough cooks. Israeli startup - well, you know the rest. ***Suggestion: reach out to any rep currently working there and ask about their experience and the company***
