Pros

Amazing work culture. Remote first allowances/stipend. Great growth opportunities.

Cons

The interviewer said that they have annual retreats in Denver every year (flights hotels paid off), but after i joined the company i did not find anything like this. They just have outreach program that sponsors flights only to wherever you want to go.

Hello teammate, Thanks for your great review and thanks for your advice to management. Truly sorry you didn't get a chance to come to the annual company event in October. For those in EMEA, which included our team from India, they all met in Amsterdam in October 2021, and they had a great time. If you joined after October, you would have missed this annual event, but not to worry. This coming October the company will host its annual event and all employees are invited to attend as always, at no expense to you. Regarding the employee Outreach Program, it covers expenses up to $1500 dollars, which is normally enough to cover flights and a few days of hotel stay. You can use it all for flights, but that is not required. As a startup, and a fiscally responsible company, we do our very best to make it interesting for our "owner-employees". Another program you should investigate is our CoWerk World Retreats. This program helps to facilitate CoWerking around the globe for employees. Join the Slack Channel for updates and upcoming trips. In March, we will be in Colombia and in July a group of employees will be in Spain. There are other trips being planned for Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore, Mexico, and many more. As for bench-marking compensation across the globe we hear you. Our Total Rewards team has been hard at work on this matter for the last two months. There have been lots of discussions around this topic during the People Open Mics which happen every two weeks, please join one of the calls the learn more. Thanks so much for taking the time to let us know how you feel. Please reach out to us on the People and Talent Acquisition team to learn more about the Outreach Program, CoWerk World Retreats, and our new Employee Referral Program. The latter enables you to either take the cash bonus, donate the cash bonus, or apply it to CoWerk World Retreats. Global Talent Acquisition Team

Pros

The company has been through a lot, and some of the older feedback seems tied to past chapters of the business. Right now, there is a clear push to move forward, especially in sales. The focus is on outbound, clearer territories, stronger partnerships, and getting the Pebl brand into the market after the rebrand. The EOR space is very competitive, but it is also a strong market to be in. Pebl has a good product, a strong reputation in the category, and a real opportunity to keep growing. The company is also putting meaningful energy behind technology and AI, which matters in an industry where a lot of providers can start to sound the same. This is a good environment for people who are self-starters. If you like having everything fully mapped out for you, it may be frustrating. But if you are comfortable with some ambiguity and want to have a hand in shaping how things get done, there is a lot of room to make an impact.

Cons

Some processes are still being figured out, and priorities can shift. That can make things feel messy at times. There can also be too many opinions in the room, which occasionally creates a lack of focus. The company has good ideas, but not every idea needs to become a priority. This is also not a clock-in, clock-out environment. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and people need to be comfortable with change. That is not a negative for everyone, but it is worth knowing before joining.

Pros

- Teams are incredibly dedicated, collaborative, and always willing to support one another through challenging transitions. - Strong focus on actively listening to and advocating for customers' needs at the team level.

Cons

- Executive leadership frequently dismisses employee concerns during all-hands calls and relies on empty promises to manage morale. - The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs with zero internal communication or accountability. Employees often only discover colleagues have been let go when they suddenly disappear from communication channels. - Following major organizational shifts, leadership failed to re-align priorities. This created an environment devoid of unified goals, leading to silos and internal division. - Despite the chaotic environment, the frontline employees work incredibly hard but receive little to no recognition or support from upper management.
