1. Tech/Product Roles:

   • Software Engineers

2. Other Roles:

   • Sales
   • Marketing
   • Operations
   • Customer Service

Eligibility Criteria

• Employee Status: Only current Porsche employees are eligible to participate in the referral program.
• Referral Submission: Referrals must be submitted through the official employee portal or HR system to be eligible for the bonus.
• Successful Hire: The referred candidate must be successfully hired and complete a probationary period (typically 90 days) for the bonus to be awarded.

Payment Process

• Payment Timeline: The referral bonus is typically paid out in the payroll cycle following the completion of the referred candidate's probationary period.
