Pros

Collaborative Supportive Friendly Engaging Rewarding

Cons

Personio offers many benefits, although some are missing if compared with other similar companies. One is that health insurance doesn't currently cover family members, which can be a limitation for employees with families. Some processes can be inconsistent, although this lack of strict processes may also be a positive aspect for some individuals.
