Pros

Good remuneration package compared to other Greek companies Good opportunity for people that have just finished college

Cons

The level of micromanagement from upper management is so intense it becomes intolerable after just a few months. Managers critisize the way you work, you talk even the way you're responding to emails There is no career development as no matter how many years pass you will still be doing the same things you did the very first day. Career ladders were recently introduced to the employees but the topic is only one more theoretical/meaningless discussion to make you believe that they care AI is the center of Persado's marketing strategy but once you start working you realize the amount of AI technology used is negligible

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback. I am sorry that you have not had the Persado experience that we hope for everyone. We continue to invest in programs and introduce initiatives focused on our People --- many as a direct result of the feedback offered in the employee engagement survey. We truly take this input to heart! My door is always open and I would welcome the 1:1 conversation you mention anytime. :) Thank you. Ali

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.

Cons

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

Pros

Remote work and diverse team

Cons

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.
