      more optimistic with recent changes

      Engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      over last year we finally see good technical decisions and paying attention to app performance, availability and product quality. culture is more transparent about what is working and what not working. before it felt like "gaslighting" when senior leaders would dress up all issues as things going well even when not going well. the new CPTO joined last year, does not shy from hard conversations, not always popular even for some of us who are here for long time and it is more comfortable to keep head in the sand and do nothing. not comfortable but necessarey for business doing well. more trust in decisions. more agile and more product launches in last year, better quality. payroll now on good track and many problems are being fixed, before very low confidence about making it. this is important because big business opportunity. good talent to learn from, some new and some old timers. new performance framework which look ok and more about results but the jury still out if it is going to work. what I like is that managers are held to results more, hands on skills popular again and now we have upward feedback too to hold managers accountable.

      Cons

      market is more competitive not sure if performance will be rewarded with things other than just ratings more remote than before

      Lovely company but evolution & salary are not ok

      Frontend engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great remote policy - Amazing office in Munich - Great engineers with a lot of collaboration in between teams and a lot of hard-workers - Consequent development budget but you can use it only on really specific things (not for German class for example) - Good benefits policy - Always nice events, they really push to federate the teams spirit in between people

      Cons

      Bad management and lack of transparency, even if your own manager told you you exceed expectations or you're impact and work are outstanding you will not get a chance to apply for promotion because "the promotion level is high" and "you need to be in the company since more than a year". Seems like they are not open to admit recruitment issue and people working hard even over expectations are not promoted and doesn't even get a salary review. Salary is low for Germany, salary doesn't considered degrees neither experience (if it's not one of the big tech companies) but just match their salary ranges. So people getting hired after you will get better salary than you even if you have more years of experience or degrees. And you will not get salary review once a year. Heavy feedback policy, as an employee you are permanently ask to give feedbacks on your peers but you're never asked for upper management feedback. I start to wonder if there is any possibilities to professionally grew in this company!

      Hello, thank you for leaving such detailed feedback! We always aim to provide everyone with the best people experience, so we value your input as an opportunity to continue to improve. We’re happy that you enjoyed the team collaboration and benefits at Personio, but are sorry to hear that other parts of your experience haven’t been as positive. As we’re growing, we’re also adapting and changing processes, as those that are in place can sometimes no longer be fit for purpose. Given this, we are continuously working to improve these processes, which also includes our Performance and Growth framework. We evaluate performance and salary for each Personio on an annual basis to ensure fair, equal, and unbiased promotion experiences for everyone. Feedback to managers is also required in this process. Nevertheless, we hear your feedback and know that there is still room for us to improve in this area. We have already shared your points with People Partners and leadership.
