      Pros

      Lively and fast changing. Excellent product and lovely office with lots of social events. Lots of well meaning people who do believe that positive culture is important.

      Cons

      Although most people are nice and believe the company values, the ones who are not nice... can be really awful...but they are good at their jobs. You can be great at your job but a very nasty person and do very well here. I think that the worst type of company is the kind that shouts loudly about culture and values of inclusion and diversity then harbours the most toxic behaviours, gaslights employees, visibly and disproportionally promotes certain people based on demographics (native languages spoken, gender etc.) and ignores everyone else. It's like a 1980 office dystopia wrapped in a shiny modern tech company shell. Serious cracks in their humanity a few times by enforcing arbitrary rules and disregarding the personal circumstances of individuals. Hierarchy is real, I don't mean by job role and level, I mean by internal politics based on who you are, your gender, your colour, your connections. If you are a high-functioning sociopath, you'll do very well here.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We take your comments on gender, race & inclusivity very seriously as this goes against everything that Hibob stands and believes in. If you are a current employee we would encourage you to raise these concerns to your people team as no one should feel like they are in this environment. We are proud of our gender diversity with 45% of our team women and several employees feeling comfortable to openly identify as non-binary. The experience of our bobbers, from all backgrounds is very important for us. As we have grown to over 750 Bobbers over the past few years, this has meant that there has been a lot of work and time undertaken to mature our sales process. This has meant that some growing pains have occurred along the way, but it ultimately means our sales teams can perform at their very best and ensure Hibob continues to grow in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. The creation of our values was a world wide initiative, involving over 100 bobbers from all backgrounds and teams. We are very aware and focussed on having values that aren’t just ‘posters on a wall’ - it is now becoming part of our DNA across the business.

      Pros

      Fully remote environment with a lot of flexibility. Most people across the organization are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive to work with.

      Cons

      There is a continued narrative around an upcoming IPO that does not feel grounded in current market realities, especially given broader trends where even much larger, much more established companies are holding off. Stop saying it is coming...it's likely not for a very long time if ever. The product was USED TO BE highly differentiated, but the HRIS space has become much more competitive and many alternatives now offer similar or better capabilities. In the U.S. market specifically, some of the company’s core messaging around culture and DEI does not resonate as strongly with buyers as it may have in the past. Things have shifted here and companies are not focused on this anymore. Payroll was highly anticipated but has not met expectations, and its limited adoption has made it harder to position as a strength in sales cycles. Even HiBob doesn't use it's own payroll to pay our employees. From a go-to-market perspective, there are challenges in selling upmarket. The brand and product positioning is not aligned with enterprise expectations, which creates additional friction in longer, more complex sales cycles. Leadership tends to stay optimistic about these dynamics but could benefit from more direct acknowledgment of market feedback and competitive realities. It's not working in the US at all. It never really has.

      Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you value the flexibility of our remote working arrangements and the collaborative culture we encourage across the organization. Regarding the US market, it's true that there has been a major shift. However, the US remains one of our largest growth opportunities and we're ensuring a better product-market fit as we aim to scale. Our messaging is evolving to better reflect this. We appreciate the honest perspective on payroll, positioning, and the competitive outlook. These are areas we evaluate on a regular basis, and we're actively working on a more defined proposition and greater brand awareness. Finally, we're unable to use our own Payroll product to ensure the confidentiality of our employees' data. This is best practice amongst payroll organizations.
