Camunda reviews

- Poor team management. - Lack of real experience within the senior leadership, leading to odd (not industry standard at all) and ineffective decisions as well as questionable setting of company direction. - As you'd expect in a start-up, work pressure and expectations are high. People are burning out and there doesn't seem to be a long term reward as you'd also expect.

- There is a significant change underway in the company (yes, that's the same one in the pros; it depends on how you look at it and what your goals are). - Middle management is way underperforming. It's pure luck where you get good PM/EM or not. In most cases, PMs/EMs come from software enginering and don't have much experience in management. The PMs/EMs most of the time work in the same way they used to as ICs. The real issue is that the company lacks methods to ensure that middle management improves over time. - Many reviews here discussed the strategy, but in reality, a bigger problem is the tactics! If everything is important, then nothing is! Missing the basics of the trade-offs can lead to either unnecessary chaos or frustration (you can't have your cake and eat it!). - The interviews have some inconsistencies and don't measure what should be measured. The company has changed a lot, yet the core of the interviews remains the same, resulting in candidates who don't fit (they are not necessarily bad, but aren't aligned with the current phase). - The CEO is a good and authentic leader for his role, but he really needs some guidance! For months, the company had a lot of fuss just because he couldn't find proper wording to say the company is changing (even though it's true and makes sense, but the word selection was really bad). This is no longer a German company, but an international one.
