Pros

Team spirit is amazing, it's a pleasure to work with every one in that company, through all departments. This is thanks to a great recruitment process and makes it easier to power through the fast growth that Personio is currently going through. Goal setting is well managed and supervisors are approachable and team oriented.

Cons

In general there are almost no kontras. I am very happy to work there. Just a small luxurious "kontra": the new office is not very functional in some parts, which can be inconvenient when looking for a quiet spot for a call/meeting and fresh air flow is not really existent. Hope that improves.

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.
