Pros

Personio has a great collaborative working culture. Very flexible working with remote, and the option to work from any European office when you like. Base salary and VSOPs are also very good.

Cons

Personio is a scale-up, and sometimes things can get messy due to the speed of delivery.

Chaos and gaslighting. Steer clear

Pros

Honestly, none. Pay is average compared to market, especially given that no bonus is paid and salary increment is a joke. Culture is toxic.

Cons

Toxic culture. Ever-changing priorities. Incompetent middle managers who don’t care about their teams. Senior leaders are full of corporate speak and no real accountability or responsibility for outcomes or peoples’ wellbeing. Extremely toxic culture that seems more interested in satisfying shareholders at the expense of the product, customers and employees. One of the worst companies I’ve ever worked for hands down.
