Pros

The software is probably the most transformative technology on the market right now. North American customers struggle to get their heads around it, but after a while, I'm pretty sure Celonis and their eventual competitors will be changing the way teams work and how real transformation is carried out

Cons

The Salesforce leadership from Madrid and now USA are quickly gutting the company and taking over. This couldnt honestly be a necessary, though unpleasant, moment for the company. For a lot of people its a good time to be there or to join. But for many others, its a really thankless brutal slog where paranoid managers obsess over pipeline and customer behavior out of anyone's control. The culture is currently toxic and people who've been there for a few years are quickly leaving.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback after leaving Celonis. We are pleased to hear that you align with our vision of the powerful future and impact of Celonis. We take great pride in creating our own unique company separate from Salesforce and will continue to do so in our recruiting efforts in the future. Celonauts have unique talent that propels the growth of our company. We are currently in a stage of hyper growth with over 600 hires to date in 2021. We have also introduced a structured feedback system to encourage open and honest communication between teams and managers to enhance work and create a positive end product for all. We also pride ourselves on our rich culture, including Pride@Celonis, Women and Allies at Celonis, and more communities to connect Celonauts. Our compensation & benefits team is working hard on establishing a new company-wide and best best-in-class salary structure, we offer stock option packages, an employee referral bonus, and more. Celonauts remain connected through their vision of accelerating the momentum of Celonis, which is surely a large success factor. All the best, Friederike (Talent Acquisition)

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.
