Vantaggi

People are great. Really good technically and on a personal level. Great office

Svantaggi

Since I joined, Personio was a mess. No strategy, no plans. Whatever we did seemed random. Since the beginning of 2022, Product Managers were and continue struggle, having break downs, lots of stress and a total lack of work-life balance. The company is going through replatforming and other very technical projects, which turns product managers into project managers of impossible projects. This will likely continue for months. Avoid joining the company. No matter how many Linkedin posts you see or how many good reviews you see - Personio continuously asks their employees to posts these - avoid the company for the next 12 months or so.

Vantaggi

Smart collaborative colleagues at the lower IC levels.

Svantaggi

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.
