Pros

People in Dub office, benefits, salary is ok.

Cons

Oh - where to start? Used to be an amazing company on a great mission, but has fallen apart over the last 2 and a half years or so. CONSTANT lay offs - did a mass layoff in March 2023 and have been constantly laying off people silently since. Most recent mass layoff in May 2025 and also now July 2025, with more expected to come over the next 12 months or so. Zero job security and majority of staff in Dub office are looking over their shoulder or looking for a way out. Morale in the company amongst staff is at rock bottom, but leadership think everything is fine and try and paper over the cracks with ‘Summer Fridays’. Summer party cancelled, bonuses cut, no essential travel. Leadership will blame some big client losses and the economic environment, but they don’t realise that the people on the ground are the ones who will get the ship back on track again. CEO and most of the execs around him are clueless and are constantly changing direction, strategy etc and will just blame others for their mistakes. If you’re thinking of joining here, I’d reconsider.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the strong relationships, flexibility, and benefits that many employees value at Workhuman. We recognize that customer-facing roles can be fast-paced and that experiences can vary across teams. As our business continues to mature, we're investing in stronger planning, clearer prioritization, and more effective ways of working across the organization. We'd also note that while recognition awards are an important part of our Total Rewards philosophy and are reflected in employees' Total Rewards statements, they are separate from base salary and bonus compensation. Recognition is first and foremost about celebrating meaningful contributions and impact, while also providing employees with tangible rewards for the great work they do. We know there is always more to do, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and improving the employee experience as we continue to grow. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
