Pros

The people who work at Personio are the best. Through ups and downs they will be there for you. The work is interesting and salary is good.

Cons

Most of the management team is poorly structured and highly under qualified. They lack empathy, transparency and humility. This has caused a big divide in many teams leading to a downward spiralling, anxiety and burnout driven culture.

Pros

Good people who want to do right by the employees, but struggle with the fast changing environment. (Advice- if this is your first sales job, try a bigger more established company)

Cons

-Difficult to hit target -The 10% of “high achievers” hit target, (high achievers in other companies hit 150+%) - Most fall below 70% of target - It seems like a 50/50 chance of passing probation
