Pros

Some nice colleagues met along the way.

Cons

After 2 years and a half in Vienna, I can say I have seen the very worst of what management can be: - run away from responsibilities. Accountability does not exist in Global Blue, unless of course if you are at the bottom of the food chain. - incompetent promoted. I have seen people promoted managers who couldn't even handle their own work properly , then why? And if you think about being promoted as manager, forget it if you are not Austrian and not a man, these are a unsaid requirement.. - No manager will enforce processes (when they exist). - No customer focus: the company is basically making money by giving money to its customers. Still, nothing serious has been done toward customers and the IT department is clearly focus on itself, not on the business, again because of incompetent managers. - the Global Blue management could win the European championship of "passing the bucket around", at least they are good at something! - completely ignore the non-performers: no matter how incompetent you are, there is no way you are getting fired at GB.

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.
