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

Cons

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

Pros

I genuinely love working at Persado. The role and scope are exactly what I was hoping for, and the work itself is challenging in the best way. Expectations are high, but they’re paired with a product that is constantly evolving, so you’re encouraged (and expected) to keep learning, thinking creatively, and pushing yourself alongside it. The people are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and respectful. There’s a strong sense of collaboration without any pressure to perform small talk or force close friendships, which I really appreciate (as someone who prefers to keep work & life separate). You’re trusted to show up as a professional, do great work, and contribute meaningfully. Leadership gives space to operate and values good judgment and it is very much a place where ideas matter and where employees are treated like capable adults. It's by far the most empowering, encouraging environment I have ever been a part of.

Cons

The work (irrespective of department) is demanding and requires a lot of ownership and self-direction. It’s a great environment for people who like to stretch, but it’s not a place to coast.
