Toxic leadership and HR team that brushes things under the rug

Pros

Most of your team is really great, you'll become great friends with your teammates.

Cons

Leadership is really toxic or unqualified. They keep hiring people at the director level when we don't need more management, we need more do-ers, but they treat the do-ers like everyone is in a junior position and like their ideas don't matter. There's no sense of communication at all and leadership does not advocate for their teams. Leadership is too focused on how they look (if you can't read their mind you make them look like a failure) and are really quick to blame the team instead of having a conversation. Everything is passed off as "drama" - even when you have very legitimate concerns. Each quarter it seems like these leaders have a new target, someone to blame, berate, belitte, etc. They won't give you your goals until the absolute last minute, will cut your bonus just because they can and refuse to have a discussion with you about it. People have gone to HR and they have done nothing but sweep it under the rug and promote these people. Hopeless.

All feedback is important to us. One of my responsibilities is to ensure that all employees feel valued and appreciated. If you feel we are falling short of that, I would strongly encourage you to reach out to me individually to discuss these concerns. – Steve Pemberton, CHRO

Too bad they don't practice what they preach

Pros

There are many people at Globoforce who believe in the company mission and are very good and kind -- unfortunately, none of those people are in positions of power and/or influence. Most of the influencers at the company are two-faced, back-stabbing and self-centered. It's too bad for those who work there and really care.

Cons

The good people are few and far between.

Truly a great place to work

Pros

I have been working at Workhuman for several years and it has been a breath of fresh air from the last place I worked. Everyone is happy, helpful, grateful and most people truly want to be here. I genuinely look forward to coming to work. There is a lot of camaraderie, and I have been able to make a lot of close friends throughout my tenure. We are all very busy, but people still take the time out to help each other

Cons

Since it is still a relatively small company, you are responsible for a lot of different tasks, and it can get overwhelming. There is a lot of juggling required, and it is very fast paced. Not for the faint of heart!
