Stress, no values and a lot of micromanagement. - Software Engineer Personio Employee Review

1) Decisions you will never make. They make you believe that you are part of the decision making process and your opinion is important and blablabla... but in reality when the "important" meetings are held everything is already chewed up and you just have to say yes. This is really frustrating, as you take the time to research, discuss with the team and in the end the decision was already known before the meeting. Nice! 2) Stress everywhere. No matter which person or which team you ask, they all say the same thing, I feel bad, I don't sleep well, I'm overwhelmed, too much work, too many meetings ..... The company knows this very well and far from helping, the only thing they do is to ask their leaders not to project an image of overload and to be a support for their employees to unburden themselves, at the same time when you do it and comment with your leader that you have stress problems, you automatically become the focus of attention, and they evaluate if you are doing your job as "it should be". 3) Leadership, who dis? Many of the leaders create a great deal of confusion at the interpersonal and intrapersonal level because some are inexperienced in the position or do not have and are not training the necessary skills. I believe that self-management individually and with your peers helps more than having managers who don't know even where the sun rises. At the same time, this is looking more and more like those Silicon Valley stories with leaders multiplying like mushrooms, I think the figure of The Head of Heads is coming, stay tuned! 4)The values of the company are, it is true, written in a very nice document and on many of the walls, but each one uses them when and how it suits then those become meaningless.
