Pros

Free coffee, free water, foosball table, vendo machine

Cons

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.

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.
