Some say it’s a unicorn, but you’ll soon realise it’s a three-leg-donkey - Anonymous employee Celonis Employee Review

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.
