      Lovely company but evolution & salary are not ok

      Pros

      - Great remote policy - Amazing office in Munich - Great engineers with a lot of collaboration in between teams and a lot of hard-workers - Consequent development budget but you can use it only on really specific things (not for German class for example) - Good benefits policy - Always nice events, they really push to federate the teams spirit in between people

      Cons

      Bad management and lack of transparency, even if your own manager told you you exceed expectations or you're impact and work are outstanding you will not get a chance to apply for promotion because "the promotion level is high" and "you need to be in the company since more than a year". Seems like they are not open to admit recruitment issue and people working hard even over expectations are not promoted and doesn't even get a salary review. Salary is low for Germany, salary doesn't considered degrees neither experience (if it's not one of the big tech companies) but just match their salary ranges. So people getting hired after you will get better salary than you even if you have more years of experience or degrees. And you will not get salary review once a year. Heavy feedback policy, as an employee you are permanently ask to give feedbacks on your peers but you're never asked for upper management feedback. I start to wonder if there is any possibilities to professionally grew in this company!

      Hello, thank you for leaving such detailed feedback! We always aim to provide everyone with the best people experience, so we value your input as an opportunity to continue to improve. We’re happy that you enjoyed the team collaboration and benefits at Personio, but are sorry to hear that other parts of your experience haven’t been as positive. As we’re growing, we’re also adapting and changing processes, as those that are in place can sometimes no longer be fit for purpose. Given this, we are continuously working to improve these processes, which also includes our Performance and Growth framework. We evaluate performance and salary for each Personio on an annual basis to ensure fair, equal, and unbiased promotion experiences for everyone. Feedback to managers is also required in this process. Nevertheless, we hear your feedback and know that there is still room for us to improve in this area. We have already shared your points with People Partners and leadership. If you would like to speak about your experience in more detail, please reach out to me at Cassandra.Hoermann@personio.de!

      Not what I expected

      Pros

      Culture is good, most of people are nice

      Cons

      Really long and complicated onboarding (3 months), in general processes are not well structured and you waste so much time just for basic stuff. Product is not compliant with markets outside Germany and for some roles that can be a big problem. Support from management was really poor too.
