Pluspunten

It is remote and they pay on time.

Minpunten

If you’re considering working at Persado, take this as a warning from someone who just got burned: this place is a complete mess. They recently decided to fire all the testers—yes, all of them—as if quality assurance is somehow optional. That alone should tell you everything about how little they value their product or the people working on it. There’s zero long-term thinking, just chaotic decisions that make no sense to anyone actually doing the work. Management is wildly bloated. It feels like there are more managers than people actually building or testing anything. And what do they do? Endless meetings, shifting priorities, and absolutely no accountability. Direction changes every other week, and nobody seems to know what the actual strategy is. The product itself is nowhere near as strong as leadership pretends it is. Internally, it’s clear things are shaky, and externally… well, clients seem to be noticing too. Morale is terrible, communication is worse, and job security is basically nonexistent. You can be doing your job well and still get cut because of some random executive decision. Avoid if you value stability, transparency, or basic respect for employees.

Remote work and diverse team

Minpunten

This company is sinking fast. Every year brings another round of layoffs, shrinking budgets, no bonuses, no cost-of-living raises, and no meaningful promotions. The only “promotions” happening are title changes with no salary increase. Upper management continues making questionable changes and presenting them as “positive initiatives for employees and the company,” supposedly based on employee feedback. Feedback from who? Leadership clearly isn’t listening to the people actually doing the work. Communication is consistently poor, leading to mistakes, confusion, and constant blame-shifting whenever problems arise. Benefits continue to get worse. Summer Fridays were removed, the insurance offerings are weak, and there’s little to no real career growth unless you’re moving backward. Morale is low, and employees are expected to absorb the impact of endless organizational instability. The product itself is overly complicated and constantly changing — sometimes week to week. Very few people truly understand it unless they’ve been at the company for a long time, and even then, keeping up with the pace is exhausting and unsustainable. Meanwhile, upper management continues selling it as a simple, seamless solution. Clients quickly discover otherwise after endless email chains, miscommunication, implementation errors, and constant changes in direction. This company feels deeply disconnected internally and externally. The environment is chaotic, leadership lacks transparency, and the overall trajectory is concerning. At this point, the ship is sinking fast, and it’s hard to recommend this place to anyone looking for stability, growth, or a healthy work environment.
