Global Blue reviews

Super bad management, very poor communication from the managers towards employees, extremely bad communication from the company towards customers. Applications, systems, programs changing constatly, always always always technical issues which NEVER get resolved. Managers never listen to employees, repeat mistakes which could be easily fixed if listened to feedback from employees. Employees have no idea of the companys vision and future plans.Management changes often. Comunication not transparent. HR does not know of issues between managers and teams. Some people super unproffessional, usually those on higher posts, on the edge of mental abuse. Experienced managers being hired because of exisitng friendship not because of skills. Abusive communication between teams from different countries and different departments. Experiences over times not paid and targets so high nobody can reach them without going sick!

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.
