Pros

This experience can serve as a practical case study on the consequences of certain practices and the significance of adopting more constructive approaches. It's an excellent foundation for understanding WHAT NOT TO DO

Cons

The organizational culture faces critical challenges, including a notable disregard for diversity, which adversely impacts team cohesion and morale. Ineffective management practices are evident, leading to suboptimal organizational development and employee growth. A resistance to embracing new ideas curtails innovation, while a misallocation of resources undermines key projects. Furthermore, the frequent restructuring every three months, combined with a lack of clear career advancement paths and poor staff treatment, contributes to a culture where employees feel undervalued. The organization's approach of hosting frequent events and providing meals appears to be a strategic effort in the short term. However, this may inadvertently detract attention from underlying issues and concerns. Such activities, while beneficial for team bonding and morale in the short term, do not address the root causes of operational challenges and could potentially mask the need for substantive organizational improvements

Hi - thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience at Celonis. We appreciate your candid insights into the challenges you've encountered. It's concerning to hear about the critical challenges you've identified within the organizational culture, particularly regarding diversity, career advancement opportunities, and management practices. We take these concerns seriously and are committed to addressing them effectively. We understand the importance of fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every employee feels valued and supported. We have laid crucial foundations to help us accelerate our DE&I efforts including collecting data to better understand the diversity of Celonauts, where we have gaps and the work we need to do to be better. We have implemented learning offerings to build inclusive leadership and training on conscious inclusion. We have also invested in our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) and thanks to the commitment of Celonauts to help us build an inclusive environment we have an ever-growing focus on new BRGs. Our eight current BRGS are vibrant communities that help raise awareness, enable us to celebrate cultural events, and actively contribute to our DE&I priorities. We are committed to the growth and development of all Celonauts. Through our performance management process, we focus on career conversations and personal growth plans, and through our evolving global learning programs, Celonauts can access skills development for today and learn new skills for a future role. Though Celonauts are the drivers of their careers, we offer mentorship programs, skills development, and learning opportunities to foster their growth. In response to the current market and customer needs, we have recently made some tough decisions to simplify and evolve our organizational structure. Our executive team doesn’t make these changes lightly and does so with the utmost care possible to make Celonis a stronger company, a company focused on creating value for customers and services focused on world-class delivery. We welcome open communication at Celonis and would therefore encourage you to speak with your manager, HRBP, or contact us at Talent@Celonis.com if you would like to discuss anything further. You also have the opportunity to provide feedback directly to individuals via CeloVate, anonymously for any ethics or compliance issues via our Ethics Hotline, and of course to continue to contribute our engagement surveys.

Pros

Celonis offers a strong mix of cutting-edge technology and real business impact. The company is at the forefront of process mining and execution management, which creates meaningful value for customers across industries. You get exposure to complex, high-visibility projects, and the people are generally smart, driven, and collaborative. There’s also solid opportunity for career growth, especially if you’re proactive and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment.

Cons

The pace can be intense, and expectations are high, which can lead to long hours at times. As the company continues to scale, there can be some internal complexity, shifting priorities, and occasional lack of clarity in roles or processes. Success often requires navigating ambiguity and being highly self-directed, which may not be the best fit for everyone.
