Business Outlook

Pros

-) Ever increasing scope to grow and help build the company -) The company is still growing, with new teams and business units being started which means a lot of room to shape your career -) I truly believe in the product and the marketing opportunity we only really tapped into so far -) International environment -) Option to move offices / location -) Flexible working (for most teams quite flexible work from home and 90 days remote policy -) Super transparent leadership -) You work for an European tech company

Cons

-) Don't consider Personio if you don't enjoy fast pace and change. -) Some processes and guidelines are not yet fully shaped. If you really enjoy structure, it might not be the right place for you. -) Compared to other Big Tech Companies: no barista (gotta make your coffee yourself), no gym in the office (but Gympass)
