Pros

Personio is on a massive trajectory - and managed to keep everyone engaged & excited about it! Hanno, the CEO & co-founder, is open & honest while being ambitious - a rare mix imo. He's also hiring executives from top-level companies (= outside of Germany / Europe) to bring in people who've "done it successfully already". Personio is paying well with lots of benefits. Colleagues are great, mix is shifting a bit to more experienced people (which is good & was necessary). Product, Engineering & Design really have a seat at the table - which again is rare for European companies.

Cons

Hope there was some learning around not-ideal communication by C-level back in Q4. Still quite a few junior colleagues who are leaning how to work effectively & efficiently - but it makes for a good mix.

Pros

The people who work at Personio are the best. Through ups and downs they will be there for you. The work is interesting and salary is good.

Cons

Most of the management team is poorly structured and highly under qualified. They lack empathy, transparency and humility. This has caused a big divide in many teams leading to a downward spiralling, anxiety and burnout driven culture.

Pros

- Some perks - Lovely colleagues - Some offices are cool, confy, full of snacks and relax area

Cons

- Unrealistic target, despite they reviewed some target for 2023 is even worst than 2022; end 2021 was ok - Some Managers and Sr. Managers have zero experience in management and less experience in sales than half of whole sales department. You must be lucky to get the good ones - Micro management and high pressure - Personio is not a competitive tool in the most of the countries. Not good quality/price, that's why is extremely hard to win against competitors. No innovation! - Personio Flex is a scam - Favouritism - Too many meeting and triggers before an opportunity get accepted. Often, t depend on the mood of the AEs - Too many channels, internal meeting, software and information. It creates confusion and lack of attention - Personio is experiencing a strong turnover and retention, you should wonder why... Lately, several colleagues that I talk with are looking around for another job. Most of the previous reviews shared by Sales employees (SDRs and AEs) are very well written. Read well all the reviews of the last 6months before choose Personio. I am very suspicious about some reviews with 4/5 stars...Especially in the last 6/8months...

Our Sales leadership is focused on creating an environment where everyone can succeed, which is why we are launching an additional program this year to further develop and train each leader. We are also working to increase collaboration between AEs and SDRs through a new working model. We will be sure to communicate this feedback to leadership and the People Partners so that Personio can continue to improve.
