- Culture and work ethic: supportive, motivating and fun work atmosphere where people are there for each other. - Business plan: exciting scale and product plans expanding in Europe, and good measures to involve everyone, Personio as one big team, in this journey - Continuous improvement: openness to feedback and iterations to get better every day leds to continuous growth, personally and professionally - Great care in hiring top talent and double-click on candidates' work mentality to ensure a good fit for effective collaboration and cultural growth. - Approachable leadership that truly lives the values and shares as many updates as possible in a transparent manner, with many women represented in Senior Leadership - Engagement survey to measure workforce satisfaction in various areas such as development opportunities, compensation, etc. taken seriously and appropriate action taken at organizational, departmental and team levels to ensure feedback is heard - Focus on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion [example: gender pay gap analyses showcasing equal pay] and sustainability [example: Personio Foundation funding NGOs in the climate and education sector].

Cons

- A fast-paced environment can be overwhelming but necessary support is provided by the supervisor resolved with prioritisation if needed - Challenging to manage knowledge in a growing organisation but something we are tackling all together.

Pros

Smart collaborative colleagues at the lower IC levels.

Cons

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.
