Pluspunten

I enjoy working here. The people are great, I am treated well and no major complaints except for one issue

Minpunten

The open concept is a disaster. It is extremely difficult to get work done as just the person next to you out of the corner of your eye is a problem. Everyone is always trying to talk to you and if forget about making a phone call, you can't hear well and they hear all the noise. There are never conference rooms open so you can't even hide to do your work. Open concept was good in theory, but it has been a disaster and we have tried it for long enough. It is pretty much universally despised.

We are happy to hear you enjoy working at Globoforce and enjoy working with your colleagues. We completely agree – our people are incredible! We also appreciate your feedback on our open-concept office. We understand everyone has different preferences regarding work spaces and know that while some love the collaboration and flow of our bright, open space, others prefer to have more private areas to get their work done. Our conference rooms are often being utilized for collaboration - meetings, trainings and interviews – however we are proud of the other available options for quiet work, including our phone booths, various “restaurant style booths”, couches, variety of “nooks”, our Globocafé, available quiet workspace in our G&A, Customer Success and Sales areas and even, the outdoor space surrounding our offices. We want everyone to feel empowered to work how it best suits them and encourage you to speak with HR if you need assistance in identifying the most ideal scenario for your productivity.

Pluspunten

Genuine human connection and collaboration. Great benefits. Autonomy and ability to share ideas that may create real change, at any level. Access to great AI tools and plenty of encouragement to experiment and learn.

Minpunten

At the end of the day, we are a business. We sell software. Sometimes in order to do that, we have to pivot direction fast or create deadlines that feel rushed. We aren't perfect - but you'd be hard pressed to find a company filled with better people who actually care about the work, the company mission, and about each other.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate experiences will differ but the experience you have shared here is very reflective of the experience for many people here, as evidenced by the comprehensive employee interviews we have conducted as part of our EVP redesign. We truly appreciate your contributions to the business and our culture.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
