Pros

Culture + values (being welcomed and accepted as who you are; DEI team), development chances + personal budget, internal training opportunities (more than you can think of), community (I have never met so many gifted supportive individuals in one place; you won't find people fighting with their elbows or playing games with you), employee benefits, employer branding, office space (modern, open desk, drinks, fruits, food, a slide -> I haven't been working in such a nice environment before), executive team (transparent, approachable, listening). Before working for Personio I knew that the company had a great reputation when it comes to people and culture but I was not prepared for this outstanding work environment.

Cons

Working with P. for 8 months now, I don't really find a reason why I should not recommend 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.
