      Pros

      - most employees in mid level management in technical positions are competent - international environment

      Cons

      -"preference" to hire an external employee than retain current employees - it is nearly impossible to ger a raise or a promotion for internal employees; a lot of high performers end up leaving because their salaries are not fair and competitive - focus on cost saving at any cost, seemingly no regard for/appreciation of people - seemingly lack of long-term planning - not growth or employee succession plans - minimal to no training/development opportunities - actively keeping key information from employees (HR does not communicate transparently) - lacking resources for key positions - wringing current employees to the max without recognition (again, no salary/compensation adjustments) - complete lack of leadership and competence in some teams - helpfulness is not rewarded but punished (personal experience, being stabbed in the back when trying to help another team)

      Pros

      I've been working at Global Blue for over 7 years, and it’s been an incredible journey. During this time, I’ve had the chance to move to two different countries, and I’ve been promoted several times. The company offers fantastic opportunities for career development, and the culture here is truly something special. Something truly life-changing is the hybrid working, What stands out the most are the people. From day one, I’ve been surrounded by talented, supportive, and inspiring colleagues who make the workplace a positive and motivating environment. Global Blue fosters a collaborative culture that encourages innovation, teamwork, and personal growth. If you're looking for a place where you can build a long-term career while being part of a fantastic team, I highly recommend Global Blue!

      Cons

      While Global Blue offers great opportunities for growth, benefits can vary depending on the country you're in. It would be great to see more consistency in benefits packages across regions.
