Pros

Great senior exposure and opportunity for experience

Cons

When joining the company I was full of excitement and hope to be part of something big happening and to get the opportunity to climb the career ladder fast in the promised ever growing unicorn environment. But unfortunately with every day I spent at Celonis I was more and more disappointed with realising that I was pushing a three leg donkey, that wasn’t going to move anywhere. No matter how much feedback I gave to the very inexperienced management (that just got lucky to become management because they were at the right place in the right time after university) they simply lacked the leadership skills, emotional intelligence and agility to adjust to business on a global scale. The company is managed by an inner circle of German managers, and if you’re expecting big opportunities and recognition for your work, you’ll have to leave and seek it somewhere else.

Pros

The people were fantastic, but due to being undervalued and under-appreciated most have moved on to organisations that actually value culture

Cons

Where to start! - An arrogance like you have never experienced that comes top-down from the founders. This delusional arrogance has meant that there is a distinct lack of investment into listening to, understanding and prioritising the needs of employees - Terrible culture and a very 'pipeline first' mentality. There is no importance given to learning and development, nor the progression of employees - The most inexperienced management you will EVER encounter. These are friends of the founders who joined the company in its infancy and despite being very, very unqualified for the position as they company has grown the founders are blindly loyal to this inner circle - Benefits are not comparable to any other SaaS org of a similar size and trajectory - again not prioritise - VERY high staff turnover - disruptive - No concept of D&I initiatives

High Employee Churn Rate Speaks for Itself

Pros

Companies you are working with are S&P500 global companies - many embarking on interesting programmes looking for tech to support.

Cons

I've seen the poorest working culture of my software vendor career at Celonis. Unbelievable arrogance both to employees and customers. Fake it until you make it culture, slog your guts out place. Very inexperienced middle management (early Celonauts) , who have been given VP / Director titles and it shows. Product roadmap is all over the place, no stability. External hype and internal reality are diverging at such a pace, likely to feed top of range IPO valuation / funding rounds. 10 year old company still behaving like a 2 year old company and it shows. Avoid.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - I am sorry to hear about your negative feelings toward your time at Celonis. We truly believe that #TheBestTeamWins, which is why we put great effort into our recruitment process. Our Celonauts make us who we are and it is crucial that they are not only qualified and capable, but that they feel appreciated for the hard work they do every single day. Celonis’ churn rate is lower than the industry average and we can assure you that we are constantly working on different improvement initiatives. Our skilled, diverse, and fast-paced workforce is key to who we are and is certainly a success factor of Celonis. Please feel free to out to us at Talent@celonis.com to discuss this further and take this conversation offline. Team Celonis
