      Down the slope

      Customer growth manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people is amazing & you’ll find friends of a lifetime (Not management)

      Cons

      This list can go on and on althought my role was not as bad. I’ve heard and seen people be so poorly treated in this company by mid-management that I have nothing good to say about Personio anymore. Our sales organisation is an absolute nightmare nowadays. Go back just 7-12 months and it was a completely different organisation. This is a not a good workplace anymore - find something else, somewhere else.

      Rudimentary and poor pay

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There's a rudimentary recruitment process run by inexperienced recruiters therefore you will get in the company no problem, just prepare yourself to answer the question "Why Personio" about 4-5 times in the same call.

      Cons

      Low salary - Account manager position in Dublin has a fixed of €40,000. There seems to be a cult for the CEO but not so much for the quality of the leaders and managers layers below, subsequently what you encounter on your day to day it's a different story

      Zombie Company

      Pros

      Smart collaborative colleagues at the lower IC levels.

      Cons

      Personio is a dying company. The over-complexity of the company's technical systems is comical. Every attempt to simplify seems to lead to more complexity as things get half migrated and left to rot. Engineering leadership seems clueless and unable to present a clear plan-of-action to get things on track. Principal engineers force engineering time to be spent on silly projects that don't move the needle long-term. There is an overall aversion to taking the time to learn deeply about systems being used. Personio feels like a combination of all of the negatives of both a startup and a mature tech company, with none of the positives. The tech is half assed and duct taped together, but still somehow everything moves at a glacial pace. There is a mass shared delusion at the company that an IPO is in reach. No investor is going to buy this company's junk shares on the open market.
