"Finally a competency-based career progression tool that really works!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

Pando offers a really innovative approach to defining career tracks at your company to help employees and managers navigate conversations around career development. This has always seemed like a daunting task for an HR Operator, and working in a scaling startup, this can sometimes feel like a moving target.

I was responsible for implementing the Pando solution in our company of just under 100 employees. Our people were really excited for transparency and to have clarity on how we view compentency achievement and career progression. Pando's framework helped out managers drive deeper conversations in a more collaborative way that factored in feedback from across the org in real time. The process of designing and deploying the tool was very engaging. Highly recommend working with Pando! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

After developing a solid plan for our career levels, we also had to conduct a market analysis and revisit our compensation bands. I wish Pando had more resources to help with bringing the career levels in parity with the compensation structure. I believe this might be an offering in the future which woukd be high value!

"Pando takes performance development and feedback to the next level!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

The platform is cost effective and easy to manage! I have used other software for employee reviews and I like the transparency and career development focus of this system. We picked Pando based on the cost, functionality, ability to grow with the software and the staff at Pando. I've been impressed with the customer service! Implementation was very custom and we had hands on help from Adam at Pando. Many systems expect you to set things up yourself. That's not the case here! Adam is also always open to feedback and ideas!

The tools allows our staff to view competency rubrics for our values based competencies and also functional competencies. No one can credibly say they don't know what is expected of them when you are providing the level of transparency that Pando provides! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

Because Pando is a newer product, at times we need to be patient with product updates or new features. However, this can also be an advantage because Pando does a fantastic job of seeking out customer feedback and passing that along to their developers. I have the opportunity to suggest features and sit in early stage v1 meetings to introduce us to new features that are coming (ie: meeting memorilization and note taking).

Your staff might feel they are duplicating work, by providing feedback and having coaching conversations verbally or in other systems and then needing to document it again in Pando. This is more of a systemic issue that Pando is mindful of and looks for ways to make it easier!

I wish it was easier to integrate with Rippling our HRIS tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pando is approaching employee development in a thoughtful, people-first way!"
5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

The platform is very easy to navigate and focused on simple, effective features to enable you to focus on exchanging feedback and using it in the context of development and progression conversations. The Pando team is very friendly and easy to work with. They are always receptive to feedback and beyond supporting us in using their platform, they are always happy to offer recommendations and help us reason through how we approach feedback and progression as a company. You can tell that they care deeply about what they do and want to have a genuine, positive impact on how companies approach employee development and progression. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

Pando is still a growing company so in the short-term, the platform has a lot of room for growth and refinement. The platform is already incredibly useful, but like any young platform, it lacks the "nice-to-haves" that more established platforms may offer. Based on the Pando teams responsiveness to our feedback and the improvements they've made in the months since we joined them, i'm confident that they'll continue to add value to their users through thoughtfully designed features.

What do you dislike about Pando?

For almost every "downside" we've experienced, Pando has a solve for it in their product roadmap a few months later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
