Vantaggi

Nice office location and decent pay

Svantaggi

Management at this organization is seriously lacking. They seem completely disconnected from the day-to-day challenges of the team, leading to a lot of frustration on the ground. Leadership appears to be clueless about the direction in which the technology and market are headed. There's a visible gap between what is promised during meetings and what is implemented. The decision-making process is painfully slow. For a company that labels itself as a startup, it is surprisingly bureaucratic. Every small decision has to go through several layers of approval, which stifles innovation and makes the work environment quite rigid. The bureaucratic nature belies the 'startup' tag that the company boasts. This misalignment not only misleads new employees but also drastically affects the agility that is typically expected in a real startup environment.

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.
