Pros

Remote work environment Good tool stack to enable remote work (slack, Google workplace, Asana)

Cons

We’ve been told that if we want work life balance we should look elsewhere. We are losing great talent, top performers being exited without explanation (and the process to communicate departures has just changed from being shared with the company (who’s leaving/left) to only need to know basis.] The strategy and priority shifting we all read about in other comments is real and expectations are increasing while teams continue to be over tasked and losing great talent.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. At Camunda, we’re in the midst of a significant transformation, shifting from a product-led company to a high-performing, AI-driven, go-to-market organization. That shift brings challenges, and we don’t shy away from acknowledging them. Our goal remains to create an environment where meaningful work and personal well-being can thrive. Flexibility is a core value, and our fully remote model is designed to support people in working when, where, and how they work best. We also appreciate the feedback on communication. Transparency and candor matter to us, and we’re continuing to evolve how we share information while respecting individual privacy. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us reflect, grow, and stay accountable to the kind of culture we want to build.

Pros

Great remote first culture. Every tech stack you could really want to get the job done. Great market leading product. The CEO & Chief of Staff really LISTEN and care. Benefits are wonderful, from health, to 401k and much more. Pay is great for the U.S.

Cons

With growth comes pains... we have a lot of new hires & people exiting, which is normal for this type of start up in the midst of a high amount of growth. The toxic leader I believe everyone else posted about is officially gone, so that con is now eliminated.

Pros

The people who work at Camunda are, of course, the biggest pro. Benefits are good, as well.

Cons

The culture is downright awful. Employee programs have been slashed almost completely - no more retreat, no more regional social gatherings, no time together in person with your teams. Not only that, but the CEO blatantly said Camunda is not the place for job security or work-life balance and if you're looking for that, you can find it elsewhere. People are being laid off left and right. People are fearful for their jobs and I've heard of a lot of team members who are looking elsewhere. The standards that are given when you're hired are sometimes not attainable, especially when there is little to no direction from management. When I started, I had zero training time at all outside of the company onboarding. My team didn't assist at all in helping me learn the ropes- I was just thrown out to the wolves and expected to start projects with no guidance. This tends to be common across multiple teams, as well. A lot of middle management do not know how to run teams and although they go through "people manager training" that doesn't seem to do any good as they're still mostly incompetent.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. At Camunda, we’re in the midst of a significant transformation, shifting from a product-led company to a high-performing, AI-driven, go-to-market organization. That shift brings challenges, and we don’t shy away from acknowledging them. The intent behind our leadership’s messaging is not to downplay the importance of well-being, but to be transparent about the pace and focus required at this stage of our journey. We don’t see work and life as opposing forces. Instead, we believe meaningful work can be an important part of a fulfilling life. That’s why flexibility remains a core value at Camunda. Our fully remote model is designed to give people the autonomy to work where, when, and how it suits them best. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your next chapter.
