Global Blue looks like an exceptional company from the outside - very nice office, professional-looking employees, multi-national. But, once you get in, it immediately becomes evident why it has a low rating on this website. Here are the top reasons why I hate this company so much and why I would never recommend it to any of my friends:
1. Teams don't work together. They just blame each other.
2. Failed software development process
3. Silo mentality
4. Inconsiderate HR - they made me pay for Vacation Leaves I used during my 1 month notice period even though I still had annual leave credits during that time and that I filed those leaves months before I submitted my resignation. I know it's in the employee handbook, but that policy is very ambiguous and it's still discretionary which makes the HR inconsiderate!
5. Almost everyone I know was given permanent position except for me because my manager said so. When I appealed to him, he just asked me why I wanted to become a permanent employee so bad. Of course, because of stability!
6. I had a vacation leave that was cancelled months before the date due to lack of planning on the management's part.
7. There are some people who are happy when people are forced to go over time.
8. They don't care about their employees health - I know this because I was getting sick before and they still asked me to go over time.
9. I never got a salary increase.
10. So many retrenchment and changes in the management level and no clear direction for the company.
