Pros

Despite it being remote due to the Pandemic, I can't complain about the application process and the onboarding process. They invested a lot of time in me, you get to meet some people from your future team before you join, the HR people are also really nice and helpful. I feel like the salary is also quite competitive. I'm still going through onboarding, so I'll know more about the internal workings soon. But everything I've seen till now has left a very good impression on me.

Cons

I can't think of much now, apart from the fact that everything is remote, so I can't meet my new team yet.

Process provides detailed insights for both sides

Pros

You will speak to different stakeholders like HR, peers, managers or board members and also be invited for a values interview to check whether you fit the company culture. Speaking to future peers was fun and in a quite relaxed atmosphere, so it is a good mix of difficulty levels. HR contact was very quick in responding, I perceived them as very engaged yet professional! Both sides, applicant and Personio, will get to know each other quite well so that you'll be able to base your decision on a well-balanced, detailed impression. Process was 100% remote.

Cons

Process took quite long and you will need to make time during your working hours.

Pros

- The culture encourages ownership and gives employees an opportunity to shape their role and have real impact. - Personio is full of smart and motivated people. - There is a shared sense of purpose and desire to make an impact – recent changes have - Leadership encourages feedback and input from the workforce and makes a genuine effort to effect positive change. - Generally speaking, solid set of benefits (subsidies for public transport, lunch, fitness & professional coaching)

Cons

- Varies by role and department, but the pace can be high and workload fluctuates. - Shifting priorities within teams and roles – need to be willing to adapt and comfortable managing ambiguity - Processes are still maturing – some inconsistency in the way projects are managed and/or information shared
