Pros

Great place to test your patience and resilience; if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere.

Cons

- Toxic environment (gossip, harassment, and the list goes on). - Poor management (lacks strategic vision and direction, relying on outdated management styles, excessive micromanagement, and a clear lack of technical expertise). - Salaries are significantly below market rates, especially considering the heavy workload. - No prospects for advancements in the company, some people have been in the same role for over 20 years. - The French team severely lacks diversity, with very few young professionals and fresh perspectives being brought in. - Incompetent HR department, serving only as an administrative function—and even that is poorly managed.

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.
