Pros

Great colleagues, generally good atmosphere at the office.

Cons

Unrealistic KPI's and targets. Not much freedom and the promised flex is non-existent. Toxicity and favoritism are present too. Sad to see an initially amazing workplace go downhill so rapidly.

Hi, I’m happy to hear that you enjoy your coworkers and the office vibe, but disappointed that not all of your experience was a good one. As a leadership team, we regularly review targets – and training – to ensure our teams are set up for success. We’re also making sure to provide multiple avenues for our employees to provide feedback, including multiple anonymous surveys and anonymous questions for AMAs. Along with this, we’ve already implemented consistent, clear, and transparent frameworks for performance assessment and promotions within the team. I’d welcome the opportunity to continue this conversation so that I can learn more about your experience and how we can improve. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at samatha.ledger@personio.de if you’re interested. Thank you, Sam, Director of Sales - Northern Europe

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.
