Pros

* They have money for now so can pay.

Cons

* Hired all the toxic waste from the US who must get fired for a good reason. * Have this promotion culture where some ex-big company employees do some fancy projects for their CVs and promotions. * Be scrappy but fast meaning nobody cares about the customers and quality. Just show something. * Focus on delivery but no quality as we are doing school projects and need to submit our assignments on time. No problem with quality we will get step marks. :D

Pros

Work, a lot though Some good colleagues

Cons

Everything, sometimes you don't even get time to have lunch. I asked my manager about my probation status just 1 week before it's gonna end and he said all clear, nothing to be reviewed. Then 2 days before probation ended, the manager and I had a heated conversation about some document I needed to fill. Then the next day, just 1 day before the probation I was let go and during the meeting when I asked him the reason for this, he just said that I was not fitting in Personio's overall package. I asked him if any person in the team would say that they were having any issues in working with me, I would happily accept it as my mistake, but he refused to do so. I had 2 managers in 6 months, both were the worst manager experiences in my 9 years career. Please avoid this company if possible. So much mental pressure especially in the EOQUAL team, it's genuine advice.

Pros

Good perks and nice office

Cons

My experience with Personio was really negative: all the processes were extremely complicated (to do simples and basics tasks you had to waste hours of time since the technology in place was bad). The training is too long (3 months) and you don’t have actual time to start working, but the probation period is only 4 months - so they don’t give proper time to let people start and learn. Management was bad too unfortunately in my case (no experience in the field and not able to provide help or support). They don’t allow people being sick and recovering plus they are not transparent with the decisions, which it should be their core value.

Hello, thank you for your feedback, we appreciate that you took the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Personio hasn’t been the best. We always want to provide everyone with an outstanding people experience, so we do take your input very seriously. We understand that a 3 month long onboarding process is quite extensive, but we want to be sure that all our Personios in customer-facing roles are well prepped and ready to feel confident in their position and provide our customers with a great experience. The other points you raised regarding lack of support and sick-leave are very concerning to us. We want every employee to feel supported and be able to get the help they need, and we also never want anyone to work or feel the pressure of needing to work, when they aren’t well. We’d really appreciate it if you would contact us and share more details on your experience, and we will look into this internally at the same time. You can reach out at glassdoor@personio.de. Thank you! Best regards, Marielle, Director Customer Success
