Pros

The culture is really good, the people are amazing and really make the company what it is.

Cons

If you're looking for a 5-month contract then this is the job for you, They let nearly all their sales reps go after 'probation' giving no warnings beforehand, this is after giving you unrealistic targets that not even the managers think is achievable. They are very behind with processes, which is understandable for a start-up but they don't listen to the employees who are actually doing the work. They lie to you in the interview about 'everyone' reaching and achieving their targets which really doesn't happen. Their salary really isn't aligned with other SDR/BDR roles around Dublin even with the OTE, which if you're not hitting target doesn't happen. They tell you there is room for growth but will only promote you if they need to fill a space and not because you actually worked for it.

Highly Consider before taking the job at Personio (DUBLIN)

Pros

- Unlimited snacks and drinks at the office - Friendly office workers and environment. Great location in the center (but most big enterprises do) - Good/Standard Salary and bonus - Stock vesting

Cons

- The benefit of GYM is useless. You need to pay some extra fees to go to the gym, otherwise, the basic gym benefits only cover online classes on an app. Their gym partner is super far from the center and you need to pay extra (15, 30, 70EUR) to subscribe. - Surprisingly, there is NO phone for employees, not even a sim card. Laptop is not of your choice, some get Mac air some get Mac pro. - The relocation support is unclear and shady. At first, I was told it was 2500 EUR, then when I accepted the job, it turned out 1000 EUR. The package covers basically the hotel when you stay. They will NOT help you to find an apartment or a room, but rather some websites for you to struggle with. - The company culture does NOT nurture REMOTE work, not even remote from Dublin. Internal information from the managers is that they are OFFICE FIRST company. The culture of Personio Flexibility for remote work is to attract and mislead people. - The TRANSPORTATION benefit sucks. You need to purchase a monthly bus subscription of 125 EUR/month. Personio will cover 43.5 EUR out of that to your gross salary, which will be taxed... - Regarding DUBLIN, rent is really high up sky, really a big issue to look for even a room.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback! We’re sorry to hear some of our benefits didn’t align with your expectations. We’re focused on providing an excellent people experience, and we know a significant portion of that is the benefits a company provides. You are right, our culture is office-lead but remote friendly. We love the opportunities to come together in our offices, and equally enjoy the flexibility to work remotely up to half of the time – including while traveling outside of your home country. We believe this flexibility is a great compromise and gives our teams the best of both worlds. Many of the benefits are subsidies, as you mentioned, which means that Personio does not cover the entire gym cost, for example, but simply makes it cheaper if using that benefit is of interest to you. We appreciate the opportunity to continue improving, and feedback from former Personios is a great way to do that. If you’d like to continue this conversation, we’d be happy to hear from you. Just send me an email at cassandra.hoermann@personio.de!

* They have a smooth hiring process. * Feedbacks are provided in no less than 1 working day, after each round. * Everyone is so kind and patient during the whole interview process.

Cons

The iteration of resume\ CV took sometime to propagate, but can understand as they have lot to process and filter.
