Pros

- Supports career progresses internally (for the most part) - Flexible hours - A lot of great people - Very international

Cons

- Salary below standards and a lot of bureaucracy behind salary discussions - often not enough to retain current employees - Poor worktime for some (often requiring working overtime, vacations too separated and often need to work during those too, missing lunches) - Not enough resources to properly allow various teams to focus on innovation and developing new - Unnecessary amount of office days without proper incentive

Pros

Global Blue offers a vibrant, multicultural atmosphere with supportive colleagues and ambitious projects in the pipeline, making it a dynamic place to work. Compensation is competitive for Vienna, complemented by a flexible approach to work-life balance. WFH with 1 office day on Tuesdays for now the default.

Cons

Archaic and slow development lifecycle. Unclear strategies for improvement, reporting lines are confusing. Paths for growth and salary increases are ambiguous .
