Pros

Celonis is a fast growing decacorn with technology and a platform that remains relevant through any business cycle. You will work with dynamic teams on challenging customer problems and derive satisfaction from your work. Pay for new employees is great and much higher than employees with more time at the company. Perks are superb including Gympass and unmatched parental leave

Cons

Dynamic leaders that built teams, processes, and positive cultures have been demoted or have left outright to be replaced by leaders from outside firms to check boxes for an IPO. Many of these leaders attempt to apply the culture (generally focused on lots of work) and the processes they know without much consideration to what is working well already or in many cases even how the technology works. This scenario has happened across the company in various functions and levels. Specifically in the CVA group, new leaders are aloof to their people and completely focused on managing up. There is no sense of how to build positive culture, remove barriers for employees, or enable growth opportunities

Pros

Unlimited PTO and smart people, who unfortunately are leaving.

Cons

Sales and technical teams are not always set up to succeed together, which creates unnecessary pressure on technical teams and contributes to burnout. There is a strong focus on growth, but employee retention does not receive the same attention. Compensation is not always competitive, and career advancement processes can feel inconsistent depending on the opportunities available to you. All approvals run up to founder level.
