HiBob reviews

Upper management is good but everyone below is toxic and inexperienced. They promote managers based on time in the company, not on competence, leadership, or charisma, which leads to managers who basically don't know anything, aren't helpful at all, have no sense of direction and ask stupid questions in every meeting. Pay is low and no matter how good you are or how much time you'll put in you won't get proper pay. The product is just a form tool for HRs, so they say that they have tens of thousands of users but in reality, it's just a few hundred, worldwide, the workers of companies don't really count because they can't do much in the system. They also take downtime and problems in prod as if its the end of the world, as if someone not being able to view their orgchart is mission critical, life or death situation. There's a lot of hidden unemployment, obviously considering incompetent lower managers. The lead architect left, and several very important people left. They also try to get into the US market unsuccessfully for several years now, which is very concerning.

Progression is rubbish, they will happily make you miserable enough to want to leave but promise that there will be no redundancies, clever. So many of my team have now left the company. Not one person hits target as a bdr, commission structure is terrible. They have introduced new KPI’s which are unattainable considering how many other things we are expected to do whilst AE’s sit there demanding more. Everyone has the same target and they don’t take into account that some regions such as Nordics are a lot easier to work with. The salary is rubbish, if you look at how much other companies are paying, hibob are getting away with it because they hire fresh out of uni people who haven’t got a clue. Don’t be fooled by the “culture”, there isn’t one unless you count Thursdays happy hour then great. There are 3 sales managers for the SDR’s and BDR’s and only one of them is good, he needs a raise. They have been losing great team members and the team has gotten smaller overall and the office dynamic is awful. It was two days a week in the office, one mandatory team day and one optional and now they have made agendas for two days so you have to go in for both and cannot choose the second day anymore. I dread going into the office now. I will be looking for other companies to work for because I have seen how they have treated other sdr’s and bdr’s and it’s a matter of time before I’m next.
