Hello, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you haven’t enjoyed your entire Personio experience, especially the working atmosphere. We know that sometimes decisions to part ways with employees can be difficult and we’re constantly evolving the ways in which we communicate leavers to the team. Nonetheless, we want to protect the privacy of each of our employees and the decisions that are being made, and act in their best interest. Still we want to assure you that we value our people and want to provide each employee with a sense of security and safety, and we’ll use your feedback to improve here as well. A part of improving our leadership experience is developing, guiding and teaching leaders, allowing for feedback in all directions, but also bringing on new talented leaders that can get us to where we want to be as an organization. For example, we recently brought on really experienced leaders, based in the UK, who are already making a really positive impact. If you’d like to continue this conversation in person and discuss in more detail, please reach out to us at glassdoor@personio.de. Best regards, Clare GTM Business Manager

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.
