Great training, great culture, very competitive

Business Outlook

Pros

Look forward to creating a career here in digital marketing. The culture is all about supporting business, understanding customers and product expertise. Very, very lucky to work for this company, as there are lot of companies in the city that try to copy hibu and treat their staff terribly, but hibu have got it spot on. And now to beat the competition! And to grow sensibly!

Cons

They've had some bad press but amazingly, the recovery has been fantastic and it's all down to the people who work there. Admittedly, the innovation could stretch a little further but it does seem like there is some secret developments in the pipeline so it's wise for me to stay.

Fast paced dynamic company that have been through a challenging transformation

Business Outlook

Pros

hibu offer an open ended commission / bonus scheme to its sales force as well as really positive incentives. It is not unusual for members of the sales team to earn 60 - 80K per year and some go even higher. hibu offers first class training which is recognised throughout the sales industry. Every field sales role is territory based so no travelling hours upon hours to get to appointments. The field sales teams are supported by telesales who make both appointments and sales on their behalf. The company has been through a major transformation and the sales teams now sell a range of Digital services such as website, pay per click, video and display as well as yell.com and Yellow Pages.

Cons

The company has been slow to react but has now caught up with the market and has an excellent mix of first class digital products. hibu has been through a major transformation which has resulted in difficult times but things have now settled down. Change is now very fast so it won't suit an individual who likes things to stay the same. Its all about Digital and new business so its going to suit individuals that make things happen as opposed to individuals who wait for things to be given to them. The sales roles are a mix of Account Management primarily focused on selling new products to customers and new business acquisition.
