Pros

Product is as advertised. CRO is a great leader. Powerful market momentum. Did you see the valuation?

Cons

Celonis confuses talking about how much it cares about its people with actually caring about its people. CEOs always talk about how amazing we are and how important we are to the company's success. And yet. After raising 1 billion, the healthcare costs for my family more than doubled. While you brag about industry-leading gross margins. Worst in class stock compensation by a country mile. Most salaries and all benefits are below market for enterprise SaaS. The worst part is the spin about all the above. No the stock comp is not more generous than industry standard. No my healthcare is not like Google's. Just stop spinning me.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and being so honest. We’re happy to hear that you see the momentum that our product, leaders, and values hold. Celonis is constantly making strides in improving the experience of hard-working Celonauts to ensure that they feel properly rewarded for the immense positive change that they bring to the company as well as the industry as a whole. We have recently introduced an improved equity plan as well as medical benefits, 401(K) matching, and more. I encourage you to reach out to me or your manager to discuss these topics further and take this conversation offline to ensure that you are getting the most out of the many positive benefits that Celonis provides. I hope to speak soon, Anouk (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.
