Pluspunten

Good home office equipment and learning fund

Minpunten

Bad training, heavy workload with poor work-life balance, and negative culture in the Athens' Ops and BCS team. Managers just sit looking pretty with passive-aggressive comments and bully all newcomers after the first month of training, discriminate, and push them to quit to avoid redundancy compensations. Weak management in the Ops team, a chaotic work environment, and trainings. The company is going downhill since they had layoffs last summer, many high-level executives left the company earlier this year and there is constant change in strategy and direction.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I am sorry to hear that your experience with Persado has not been all that we work so hard to provide for Persadoans across the globe! I am extremely surprised to see this feedback regarding the BCS team in Athens, as I have personally reviewed the data (engagement surveys, stay/exit interviews, onboarding surveys, and upward manager reviews) for this team and it is consistently exceptional. That said, if your experience continues to be disappointing, please feel free to reach out to me or Katerina -- we would love to understand more about the challenges you are facing. We are always looking for ways to improve and welcome all feedback. Thank you again! Allison Lee, CPO

Overall it is a very collaborative environment and the team is very welcoming to new hires. The teams have deep knowledge of the platform and industry and a general passion for helping solution for customers.

Minpunten

A lot to learn quickly, but everyone is quite helpful.

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.
