Pros

My journey to and at Workhuman has been one of the most fulfilling highlights of my life. From 2002 to 2020 when Covid hit, I was a Monday thru Friday 8-5pm worker. It was the standard and the way. Covid made me evolve into a remote worker and people leader. I made the most of it while at a Top HR Tech leader and then building a new team at a Tech start up. But as I learned fully remote was just going to be the new way where I was with no office on the horizon, I couldn’t do it any longer. I needed that Monday thru Friday and 9-5 back for my mental health. I found Workhuman thru a connection and just fell in love with the people, the platform, the potential future and impact I could make and of course the gorgeous office. I remember on my in-person interview – our awesome recruiter gave me a tour and my constant compliments made her happy but she also said there’s a new office in the works for 6 months out that will be even better. SIGN ME UP! Every day I get to drive into the best office I’ve ever stepped foot in with over-the-top frills from the perfect café, to the gym, to the open concept workspaces where I can do my best work and collaborate with my team…and double tapping into that…working with the kindest and smartest people. I’m partial to my team being the best but the cross collaboration with other departments is wonderful as is just the organic socialness around the office. The leadership is top notch. I’m a manager level employee and I’ve had personal and professional conversations with VP and Chief level execs here. They ask about my life – they ask about business opinions. I feel truly seen and supported. If you’re on here looking to join us – you should. If you’re here as a prospect client to potentially partner with us so you can do Recognition RIGHT for your people – DO IT! It’s the best platform, the best company and the best people. I love this place. It’s my Disney World of workplaces.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

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.

Pros

- High calibre EMEA sales team and leadership - Well intended sales development - Decent base salary (though WH does not do annual increases) - Exceptional flexibility (if you want fully remote work) - One of the most sophisticated products in this industry and perhaps the best for large complex global organisations - Generally very kind people throughout the org - Extensive use of the WH product - the company is 'client zero' and that is a good thing

Cons

- Curious culture - for instance there is an intensely 'inward' focus and the primary acknowledgement of 'competion' is to deride it - US centric - lags behind smaller recognition companies in terms of regional market understanding, localised product expertise and client support etc. - Inflexible / slow to change - many issues highlighted (and discussed) 2 years ago are still challenges today - Commercial targets for reps are outdated and when you 'dig' quite arbitrary - there are teams far less likely to succeed from the outset - Comp plan (which does reward good deals) is far too opaque for the average sales person to understand even after recent upgrades - Lead gen problems - SDR and marketing maturity, capability, metrics etc. is a long standing issue widely discussed and yet still way below par (your mindset should be: 'I need to be self sufficient') - Extremely flat structure (in EMEA Sales specifically) means there isn't really room to grow (totally fine, if you are OK with getting comfortable in a role)
