      From Open Source Darling to Top-Down Disaster

      Leadership group member
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote-first setup offers flexibility, though that's more a relic of its past than a strategic strength today.

      Cons

      Camunda used to stand for community, autonomy, and technical excellence. That company is gone. The senior leader other glassdoor reviewers are talking about behaves like a volatile middle-school principal—yelling in meetings, belittling colleagues behind their backs (including their peers), and generally creating toxicity everywhere they go. Everyone talks about it, nobody addresses it. Transparency is dead. Promotions are arbitrary, performance feedback is weaponized, and internal politics matter more than actual results. The shift from open-source credibility to enterprise mediocrity is almost complete. Instead of leading the market, Camunda copies competitors and calls it “strategic evolution.” Morale outside of senior leadership is low, attrition is high, and trust is eroded at all levels. Don’t be fooled by the company’s public image. Behind the scenes is a deeply dysfunctional, CYA-first culture.

      We recognize how difficult it can be to share experiences like this, and we want to create space for honest conversations. We encourage you to reach out to anyone from the People team that YOU trust for a confidential chat or CPO directly, so you can raise issues safely and we can address them appropriately. This type of assertion is serious and one that we would very much like to address. We are here to listen and unfortunately, anonymous feedback on external platforms like Glassdoor makes it difficult to investigate or resolve. We are continuously investing in leadership development, transparent communication, and employee support programs to strengthen our culture. We’re committed to fostering a workplace where people feel respected, heard, and empowered to speak up.

      Gross top-down lack of experience and judgement

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most Camundi are good to very good, trying their best and working hard against the odd. Mature remote working practice inc async collaboration (within teams, maybe less across departments?). Compensation is good, on par with market (US at least) though equity is way below market (even for European HQ scaleup (at this rate might not worth much anyway, so not something to join or stay for).

      Cons

      Competent Camundi (even C-level) have been let go in H1 with muddy reasons. Ohers have left of their own choice (from what I'm hearing many are wondering if it's really worth staying). Churn is very high, it doesn't help. Top-down lack of experience and judgement shows everyday. F.ex. Camino promoted to SLT but removed from the org less than 6 month later. For a company aiming to be pragmatic and numbers driven, we're now driven by fear and politics with no credible exit. Oh... and People Team stop gaming the system by asking your brownies to post nice reviews, fix moral, trust, equity... instead.

      Our goal to lead the PO&A category has been consistent, and we have been responsive to economic and technological shifts, ensuring that we build a product that delivers meaningful impact with the highest benefits for both current and future customers. We recognize that our equity program is unique and not always well understood. We will continue investing in education so employees can better understand the full scope of their total rewards. We respect people’s privacy when they leave Camunda and don’t comment on individual departures. We welcome all kinds of feedback, positive, constructive, or critical and we do not ask anyone to post anything that isn’t authentic. We’re committed to building a Camunda where people are empowered to speak up and feel heard.

      Pros

      Salary is still competitive but nothing else

      Cons

      CEO recently announced that Camunda is not a place where an employee can find work/life balance and if they want it, they should look elsewhere

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand that work/life balance is deeply personal and can look different for everyone. To clarify, our leadership's intent is not to diminish the importance of well-being, but to be upfront about the pace and demands of this stage in our growth. We don’t see work and life as opposing forces to be balanced. We believe that great work can be a meaningful part of a holistic and fulfilling life. That’s why flexibility remains a core value at Camunda - it’s how we empower people to integrate meaningful work with their lives. Whether it’s where, when, or how work gets done, we trust our people to manage their time to support both performance and personal well-being. We remain committed to building a company where people can do the best work of their careers. Thanks again!
