Pros

Office space and peers are great- If you have to go to Framingham, it’s a nice office.

Cons

Senior leadership is junior league. We have an issue keeping good leadership. There’s little to no diversity (race, women, etc.) in sales leadership. Lots of vulgar swearing and lots of male bravado.

While we are truly disheartened to read your comments, we encourage you to talk with our HR team, as we do welcome all feedback. We have an open-door policy, without fear of retaliation, and encourage anyone with concerns like this to approach our HR team so we have a chance to address or remediate the situation as necessary. And I am personally available to you as well. What makes Globoforce and our culture special is being unafraid to tackle important issues, even if the impact to the business isn’t immediate. We are steadfast in our belief and united in our mission to make workplaces more human. And, our employees can attest to the fact that we certainly believe in practicing what we preach. We are consistently ranked on the Great Place to Work and The Boston Globe Best Places to work lists in both Europe and North America. So while we are not perfect, we are fiercely committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and that effort is led by our highly engaged and deeply committed CEO. Here are some facts relative to gender diversity: More than 50 percent of our employees in the U.S. are women. More than 50 percent of our employees at the executive/director level are women. Like all companies seeking to focus on these areas, we have committed to getting more involved in the support of STEM education for young girls and will be part of the change that is needed to address the hiring challenges faced. In addition, we have recently formed the Globoforce Women’s Network. This group, that enjoys involvement from all levels throughout the company, will be a sounding board for our team members and will allow us to define our strengths and address any opportunities. I would encourage your participation in that group. If you would like to talk about your concerns, please reach out to me directly or a member of the HR team.

Pros

Empowerment not only from your direct department but senior management Company relationships are fostered through mutual trust and respect Many "entry" level positions are springboards for promotional opportunities - there is plenty of room for growth Almost all employees are genuine and happy to see others succeed EVERY person is valuable within the company

Cons

So much food, get ready to gain weight. The company is growing quicker than ever, if you don't like a fast-paced environment or taking initiative, this is not the place for you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on Glassdoor. Trust and respect are central to our culture, and we’re lucky to have so many great people, who really live our core values and make Globoforce a great place to work. Food and celebrations are part of life here and while our environment is fast-paced and changing, it’s underpinned by a real respect for people’s work and life balance. We continue to invest in making sure our people can do their best work, with the best systems and supports in place.

Pros

- Friendly people. - A place that actually seems to care about work-life balance and everyone's well being, I genuinely enjoyed coming into the office. - Really good benefits. - Pretty good salary.

Cons

- Not much opportunity for learning, growth, or development. - Cross departmental communication and organization is non-existent, making larger projects a nightmare and even smaller to medium projects much more difficult than need be. - Managers, sales, and marketing really like having flexibility and "pivotibility" so it was pretty common to be working on a project for weeks or months and then have a manager change the project to go in a totally different direction, and then after weeks or months of working in this "new direction" have that same manager go back to the original plan, and then a few weeks or months after that just scrap the project entirely. - Because of this desire for flexibility there was no process, documentation or planning for these projects. We would be working for months without any clear requirements, expectations, deliverables, or understanding of resources and constraints. It was pretty common to find out about some crucial bottleneck or blocker (that should have been known from the beginning) just days before something was due. - Nobody really seems to know what the overall plan/goal/direction for the company is, aside from doing better in sales. - I will note that some of the organizational things were getting better when I left, so I'd be curious to see how they're doing with it now. Should you work here? This is tricky, there are some definite pros and some definite cons here, I think it depends on what you're looking for. Where I'm at in my career, I'm looking to learn and grow as much as possible and this was definitely not the place for me to do that. But if you'd like to be at a place with really good benefits, solid pay, a (mostly) good work-life balance, and don't mind a good bit of self-inflicted chaos and the work that comes along with that, then this could be the place for you.
