"Pando is a refreshing take on the performance review."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

Pando is geared towards facilitating frequent, on-time feedback. Based on this it then enables more comprehensive reviews to provide material in support of promotion or compensation discussions. Pando is accessible and the reporting capability (for admins, eventually managers) is demonstrating impressive business intelligence on workforce/talent composition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

Pando is a new platform, so its not without its niggles and minor UX hiccups. That being said, the team are receptive and responsive to feedback and the product evolution to date has been impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pando is so visually pleasing. I love it."
5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

The UI is second to none. I don't log in to Pando as much as I do with other solutions, but whenever I do, it's always so refreshing to see. I wish everything online was as clear, simple, and straight to the point as this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

I recently ran into a scenario where I asked my CRO to leave me feedback. He ended up leaving feedback for another Michael instead of me and now I have to reach out to support to get it deleted. I wish that Pando could somehow overcommunicate who you are leaving feedback to so something like this doesn't happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Career growth focus"
5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

Pando enables us to reset traditional performance reviews into regular just-in-time coaching conversations. Retention isn't as emphasized compared to recruiting and Pando helps us even the balance by giving employees the structure they're looking for to understand where they are, where they can go, and how to get there. The future of performance reviews is all about career development b/c people are looking to companies to not only tell them how they're doing, but how that calculates into their career goals. Pando helps us visually present to employees (and prospective hires) the career path for each team and that's the cheat code to retention in today's labor market.

What do you dislike about Pando?

Pando's platform is emerging/building as a startup and has carved out a niche with modernizing assessments/feedback. They've been shipping new features rapidly and the product roadmap looks incredible. Hoping to see additional investment and even more success/growth for the incredible talent on the Pando team.

"Challenging old paradigms and building a new way to manage performance and career mobility!"
5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

Pando eliminates the need for dedicated, time-bound performance review cycles, pushing the company into a continuous feedback model with clear, competency-based leveling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

Some of the features can be hard to access - it's not all intuitive yet, but it's a new product and they are super responsive to user feedback! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So glad Pando exists!"
4/5
What do you like best about Pando?

- One of the very few - and definitely the best - dedicated solutions to continuous feedback. There are a lot of great engagement platforms out there, but nothing to solve the acute job of feedback and coaching and progression

- Bring-your-own career development rubric has been really critical. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way

- The software works for regularly-scheduled review cycles as well as one-off, ad hoc feedback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

- Still early days with product development, which can mean some odd UX moments and unclear directions on where to go and where to find the thing you're looking for. The team has been very responsive to requests and ideas, which has been great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adam Plachta of Pando

Thanks for the feedback, Kevan! I'm very happy to hear you're getting value from the continuous feedback features--they're close to my heart as well. As for those "odd UX moments," we're tackling these in Q4. Would love to hear any more specific feedback if you'd like to share! Email me if so: adam@pando.com

"An Amazing Career Progression Tool!"
4/5
What do you like best about Pando?

Pando partners with companies to create career frameworks that are equitable, actionable, and measurable. Competencies are custom-tailored to each team to be as relevant as possible. The tool is constantly getting better as the company grows. Their fantastic team works collaboratively to ensure success and collect/implement feedback as needed. I love that it creates constant conversation around growth and empowers our employees to take their development into their own hands! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

Pando as a company is new, and that comes with minor bumps as they iterate and improve their tool. On the flip side, they are extremely quick and receptive to feedback and truly act as a partner in your success. There are also some really cool things on the way for their tool that have our team so excited! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A complete but super intuitive software!"
5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

My company implemented Pando to help us with career and performance management last quarter. After using several tedious and confusing tools for this purpose in my previous jobs, Pando was a ray of sunshine for me! It is a super complete but very intuitive software. You always know when/where actions from you and your managers are required - you are always on top of the situation! You have a clear career path available, with associated levels and capabilities. You also have examples and clarification throughout the entire process, making your life easier when you are thinking about complex questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

it can be a bit exhausting at some point when filling out the assessment - as it is very complete it requires a lot of work and a lot of time available: creating goals and actions given examples and associating skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Adam Plachta of Pando

Thanks, Susana! I'm so glad Pando was able to help think through your career path, as well as support the development of those career management practices. I hear you on the time commitment to fill out the assessments and supporting assets like goals and actions. I'd love advice on how to make this a smoother experience if you want to email me at adam@pando.com. Thanks again!

"A tool that supports individual progression and drives transparency and accountability"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

This tool is helping us drive the right kind of clarity into our development and progression programs for employees. It centers around competencies for each role, which are visible to the entire organization. This creates a huge leap forward in creating both transparency and equity in how individuals are level-set across the company. And it puts individuals back into the driver's seat, by helping them understand what's behaviors and skills they need to demonstrate at their current level as well as every level above them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

The tool is still in its early days, so some critical admin reporting features aren't available yet which are important for us to drive usage and understanding of how our people are using the tool. I'm in regular contact with reps at Pando and know a lot of this functionality is on the roadmap or currently being developed so we fully expect to have more self-service control soon.

"Pando does everything I was doing manually...and then some!"
5/5
What do you like best about Pando?

Pando is an incredibly innovative and useful tool to track professional development and drive the right behaviors with team members. It allows us to incorporate coaching and development into each 1:1 conversation we have with employees, and gives them ownership over how to work on upskilling themselves. Pando is a tool that combines everything I was doing manually as a people-leader in one spot - tracking employee goals, building competency rubrics, and providing team members the ability to self-assess and identify areas of opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pando?

There are no "downsides" of using Pando - only that it's early-on in its development and many of the product features/functionality are still being built. That said, Pando's product team involves its customers in the roadmapping process and always asks for feedback on product enhancements, so it truly feels like you're a part of the building process together.
