Pros

Great environment to grow alongside awesome people. It is a good opportunity to generate an impact in people's lives as Personio's main goal is always to deliver the best product to the customers.

Cons

No cons in my opinion. Is not a company for people that want to stay 100% of the time in the comfort zone. As everyone is responsible to make the best product for the customers, you will be challenged.

Pros

Overall it's a pretty good company to work for. I've been working full time for about 8 months now, the company is evolving fast and has a lot of ambition. As an engineer, I got the opportunity to work with knowledgable people on technical challenges. There is still a lot to build so the work is exciting and rewarding. As a person, this is the first time that I work in a company with such a strong culture. Took me about 3 months to get used to it, but I truly believe that the company cares about the employees as they push for self-improvement.

Cons

The strong culture is sometimes a bit too much. I'm not really a fan of all the hashtags and the praise. But once you pass that superficial impression, you find genuine people that are doing their best to move the company forward. As it's still a startup, salaries are a bit below the rest of the market but compensate with great perks (such as electric scooter)

Pros

As a highlight of my current experience, I would say that since the company is quite young and still developing in different aspects, proactivity in terms of proposing initiatives is very welcome. Other pros would be: - Young environment. - Direct impact on the product - Opportunities to grow in your career path. - Transparent communication. - Good work tools. - Good work-life balance. - Modern office in a central location. - Company events. - Good benefits.

Cons

We have a development budget plus a full day to use it for any work-related training, conferences or books, but it would be nice to have more onsite tech training.
