      Pros

      The culture is really good, the people are amazing and really make the company what it is.

      Cons

      If you're looking for a 5-month contract then this is the job for you, They let nearly all their sales reps go after 'probation' giving no warnings beforehand, this is after giving you unrealistic targets that not even the managers think is achievable. They are very behind with processes, which is understandable for a start-up but they don't listen to the employees who are actually doing the work. They lie to you in the interview about 'everyone' reaching and achieving their targets which really doesn't happen. Their salary really isn't aligned with other SDR/BDR roles around Dublin even with the OTE, which if you're not hitting target doesn't happen. They tell you there is room for growth but will only promote you if they need to fill a space and not because you actually worked for it.

      Pros

      Smart collaborative colleagues at the lower IC levels.

      Cons

      Personio is a dying company. The over-complexity of the company's technical systems is comical. Every attempt to simplify seems to lead to more complexity as things get half migrated and left to rot. Engineering leadership seems clueless and unable to present a clear plan-of-action to get things on track. Principal engineers force engineering time to be spent on silly projects that don't move the needle long-term. There is an overall aversion to taking the time to learn deeply about systems being used. Personio feels like a combination of all of the negatives of both a startup and a mature tech company, with none of the positives. The tech is half assed and duct taped together, but still somehow everything moves at a glacial pace. There is a mass shared delusion at the company that an IPO is in reach. No investor is going to buy this company's junk shares on the open market.
