I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Celonis
Interview
The company is lacking in communication and transparancy throughout the entire interview process. Celonis expects candidates to put in a lot of time and effort to speak with multiple leaders and put together a presentation, but does not give the candidate the deserved respect to give them feedback after the process. I was very disappointed in the candidate experience and thankful to have taken an opportunity elsewhere as I was concerned the hiring process would be a reflection on the actual experience working at the organization. Overall the process took about 4 weeks

Question 1
Why Celonis? Tell me about a complex deal you have sold
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Celonis in Dec 2025
Interview
During their Account Executive interview process, which consists of 4-5 interviews, candidates are required to complete a sales challenge, which entails a panel presentation of your POV, in character, to an account of their choosing that is not currently a Celonis customer. You are provided with a template deck to modify for your presentation.
I have no problem with Celonis deciding I am not a fit, for whatever reason, but it was incredibly unprofessional to be ghosted after all of the time and effort I put into their process.
It absolutely felt like they used the interview process for free consulting.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Celonis (Amsterdam) in Jul 2024
Interview
Fairly quick and sharp, to the point, not too complicated and allows you to make an informative decision. People are friendly and guide you through the process. You get a "buddy" assigned during the process to prepare better for the final stage. The final test stage, if intended to be done successfully, requires some time to prepare, but is worth it.
