Pros

Great colleagues! Hybrid opportunities and remote opportunities. A young team with great talents from around the world. Vision with great impact and with a service that solves a big challenge.

Cons

Burnout tactics and focused only on sales numbers for obvious reasons. Managers without empathy and friendliness. Monthly meetings with no real data and with lies around letting people go and improvements on the work-life balance. No pay increase after a year - not even close to an inflation rate Low morale in the team - nothing works. Internal systems are down frequently which affects everyone. Minimum pension contributions: only what's required by employment law Not good benefits (no discounts for other companies or learning budgets which is a norm in the current market). They began to offer pizza and beer on Fridays but in the last 8 months, they stopped it. We didn't have an office manager to run activities (for example Christmas, Halloween, and gifts exchange). Bad management with strategies implemented by people without experience!

Cons

Management are pretty awful. Don’t know how to motivate it train very effectively. The product your selling as well has its flaws and problems which never really get seen too Can get super repetitive and unfulfilling Very poor career progression

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. It’s unfortunate to hear that your experience with us has been received so negatively. At GoStudent we offer a high level of flexibility when it comes to managing your own working hours. Some of the Account Managers enjoy working later hours or on weekends, as they reach more clients at that time. As a current team member, you are aware of our GoStudent Fundamentals and how strongly we live them. We encourage all employees to challenge the status quo and provide honest and open feedback. We would like to invite you to live this as well - this way we can respond to your wishes better than here via Glassdoor! :-) We wish you all the best and lots of success! Best regards, Anna, Head of HR
