Pros

Great place to work, allows all engineers to make an impact. Spends a lot of time and effort in making everyone feel included. There's a lot of work to be done and a lot of experiences to be had, especially migrating from legacy systems to a new architecture.

Cons

In the middle of transitioning from a start-up culture to an enterprise culture, so a lot of things are yet to be ironed out.

Business Outlook

Pros

The atmosphere at Personio is peaceful and fun. I really love my colleagues and the different team leads I've had. There is a trusting culture at Personio, no micro management at all. We have awesome benefits such as being able to work from another office with paid housing, lots of events, a juicy development budget, a free day for social engagement. Lots of opportunities to develop your career

Cons

Stress levels at Personio are extremely high at times. Forecasting for new hires are catastrophic which means you often do the job of more than one person. Complaining about this is often seen negatively. Salaries could be better.
