Personio reviews

To strive at Personio it's not enough to be good at your job, what's most important is that your manager trust you and is an amazing sales man. Sadly in many job categories, like for example Software Engineering, managers aren't necessarily good at salesmanship. As the manager isn't responsible for the performance rating, it will thus be very difficult to get good ratings under managers like this. Personio has a very harsh performance rating system which will not evaluate how much impact your team had, but instead how you perform compared to your direct peers. That means, if you are in a team full of the brightest most amazing team members - you are lost unless you are the best in that team. I've seen multiple cases over the years of great employees who have gotten a mediocre performance rating, simply because they had a peer in their team pushing 70 hours a week. Personio doesn't support caretakers because of the aforementioned performance rating. If you have children or elderly to take care of and can't work overtime constantly. You can be sure this will be ignored in your performance metric. Sad reality.

I experienced plenty of change, and it is generally a very performance-driven environment. I was sometimes working overtime.
