Pros – Great culture. Great people. Great leadership. Great product with very slick delivery. Amazing work/life balance. They live their values and walk their talk. I love that Globoforce are here on Glassdoor giving the world a behind-the-scenes look at why they are such a great company to work for. Their product works! Two of many personal experiences that come to mind, are: 1. The feeling whenever I received a recognition award through Globoforce's own in-house employee recognition programme always put me on cloud9 and made want to work even harder for the business, and it wasn't the reward so much as the feeling of being appreciated and the unexpected surprise of getting the recognition. It was like wow, you noticed that – thanks! 2. Over and above recognition the solution helps companies spot flight risks. The Global Head of Sales who is based on another continent from me, has little direct communication with me and has met me a mere handful of times noticed that I might have become a bit disengaged before I had even decided to move on. I was so impressed and we had a chat. It showed me on a experiential level how well the solution works. I still decided to move on but it was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made and being so recently, I hope I have made the right decision. I really miss them and will always hold the business and people I worked with in high regard; what they do and how they do it in the recognition space is 2nd to none.

Cons - If you’re considering a job at Globoforce, it really is a great company to work for. The only con I can think of is, Field Marketing could better align its efforts with needs of the international part of the business i.e. outside the US. It sometimes felt like we were the poor relation. This is the only place I saw Globoforce drop the ball, and only a little. However, they are aware of this and it’s more a bandwidth issue than anything else. Someone dedicated to the outside US territory would work well.
