Pros

Flexible APIs that enable automatic updates
The system’s design makes it easy to use for administrators, managers and staff. It’s easy to generate reports. I like the fact that we can have everything from payroll and staff statistics to performance reviews all in one system.
The ease of use. It is a modern and very good HR system.
That we can digitise HR processes and that it is not complicated to use. We have everything from onboarding to e-sginning and the performance module with Personio and are very happy.

Cons

Breakdown of information into three tables. We realise that this is probably the premise.
Sometimes it can feel a bit of a faff when you want to do something new in the system. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to know who to contact at Sympa to get help.
A bit too limited in customisation possibilities. We have not been able to directly transfer some of our processes to Personio.
The performance module is not fully developed yet but there is great potential.
