Pros

Our product offering is impressive, fully customizable, and doing well in the market. We continue to win deals, and do whatever it takes to gain customers. We have a fantastic business team that handles our customers very well, and everyone around the company is smart.

You are able to work on high impact things as there is too much to do and not enough individuals to get it all done.

Cons

Company structure, policies, and cross-team workings are intentionally vague, highly political, and uninspiring.

This company has the least mature people processes I have seen, and I have previously worked at other startups.

High performance is not recognized or rewarded, and low performance is not identified or properly addressed. I have noticed many high performers regress to working less because they are not rewarded for doing more.

There are no feedback cycles or policies that make anything we do clear.

If you want to mostly have a good time, learn, and build some stuff, this company could be a good fit for you.

Advice to Management

Delegate the small stuff, focus on the vision, and let people execute with clarity and purpose.

Reward people doing good work, identify and prioritize fixing the below standard work.

Us individuals want to know how we are doing, what we could do better, and where our careers could grow at Persona.
