Amazing culture has turned into toxic corporate environment - Recensione dipendente - Product Management presso Personio

If you want to work for a creative, innovative scale-up where you make a real impact - steer clear of Personio. I was sold a version of Personio that no longer exists. It has become a corporate environment where leaders micro-manage decision without enough context. When you raise genuine concerns and provide additional context, you are told to be quiet, that you know nothing and to follow orders. There is no data and therefore the highest paid persons opinion is the one listened to. The absolute worst part of this is on top of that, individual contributors are then blamed for poor management decisions that are completely outside of their control. I have never experience a culture like this in my entire career - this is not even typical boring corporate culture - its the worst I have seen. Perhaps in a year or two, Personio will sort this out and will be able to course correct, but if you have the choice don't join now - unless you love corporate politics, watching your own back all day, and high pressure to perform towards unachievable goals outside of your own control - stay away for now.
