Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I hope you had the opportunity to share your concerns with your lead or a member of the People team before leaving. As you know, Personio is growing fast, and we're proud to welcome diverse leaders with fresh perspectives and extensive scaling experience to our team. We’re here to have a big impact not only on our business but importantly on the HR industry as a whole. Helping thousands of small and medium-sized organizations to power great employee experience using our platform is what gets us motivated. In the past year, we were excited to welcome 26 different nationalities from 90+ different companies into our product and technology organization. This brings a wealth of diversity of thought that will have a positive impact on our product and our culture. However, I acknowledge that while hypergrowth is a great environment to learn lots, fast, it can be challenging and it’s not for everyone. Our Personio Principles describe the mindset that guide the ways we work together to have most impact on our customers, we encourage anyone interested to learn more about them here: https://www.personio.com/about-personio/careers/culture/ If you’re open to a confidential conversation to provide further insights into your experience or discuss any concerns, please contact us at glassdoor@personio.de, and our team will connect us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Maria Angelidou-Smith, Chief Product and Technology Officer

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.
