The HR raised the bar for promotion, it became a game to demonstrate that you are doing a good job.

Hello, Thank you for your review. I hope you had the opportunity to share your concerns with your lead or a member of the People team before leaving. Promotion evaluations are a vital part of the company’s Performance Growth Cycle. In Product & Technology, we recently rolled out clear and transparent expectations by level for each function within the organization (engineering, product management, product design, research, etc). As I referenced above, our performance evaluations are based on clear and transparent performance expectations at each level that incorporate both your what (the results) and the how (how you achieve results). All promotion decisions are calibrated fairly and equitably based on a specific, and again transparent, set of criteria that consider level of impact and responsibility over a sustained period of time, typically a year or more. Overall, our Performance Growth cycles are opportunities for Personios to reflect on their impact and define clear opportunities for development so we can help everyone reach their potential. If you’re open to a confidential conversation to provide further insights into your experience or discuss any concerns, please contact us at glassdoor@personio.de, and our team will connect us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I wish you all the best. Maria Angelidou-Smith, Chief Product and Technology Officer

Pros

All-in-all Personio is a great company to work for, they try to keep their employees happy. The atmosphere is great it is generally really welcoming to different cultures, the people are the best part of Personio and they know that and it's a totally awesome way of growing a strong work ambience. There are really amazing people working here and really outstanding things to learn from all sides, from people in Sales to Engineering to Marketing, truly Personio has garnered some amazing talent. The benefits are great, there are tons of things Personio likes to do together, such as hosting music and beer on Fridays or company trips and the like they're all great to have. There is also a large amount of transparency as to how the company is trying to get better and wants to receive tips on how to get better.

Cons

Normal start-up culture cons, Missing procedures for career growth Office space is not sufficient, though with COVID this is not an issue at the moment Somehow, coated and rosy language around progression and your faults something you would more expect around a big coorporation, hard to get feedback and an emphasis on the negatives is never explicit but for sure is focused on. As well as upper tiers of management, not so much day-to-day management, could do with accepting public criticism better instead of returning with dismissal or retribution.
