      Aspiring to have a culture of hustle, without the upside of ownership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exceptionally bright and committed colleagues across many functions A well-articulated remote work policy Ambitious mission with real market relevance

      Cons

      Camunda aspires to operate with the intensity and pace of a high-growth startup. That in itself isn’t problematic — many companies pursue that model. The issue is that it asks employees to behave like founders without offering the corresponding rewards or trust. Long hours, blurred boundaries, and a sense of constant urgency are clearly where the leadership wants to take the culture. Yet equity — the very thing that justifies that level of commitment in most startups — is thinly distributed, and for most, inconsequential. Employees are often told to “own” their work, have work life integration, not work life balance, take initiative, and operate with autonomy. In practice, strategic decisions are centralized, upward feedback is filtered, and true ownership — meaningful ownership of the company — is reserved for a select few.

      Camunda: From Life-Changing to Soul-Crushing in One Brutal Move

      Marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Once-in-a-lifetime colleagues (what’s left of them) A mission that could have changed the world It used to be the kind of company you told your friends you were proud to work at

      Cons

      "Lean Camunda" wasn’t a transformation — it was a cultural execution. Leadership dropped it overnight with no warning, no respect, and no real plan. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) is wildly incompetent and inexperienced— totally lost on how to scale a real company without torching its soul. SLT preach "low ego leadership" publicly and act like control-obsessed tyrants behind closed doors. Leadership is making one reckless decision after another — including the absurd move to replace a perfectly good full-time CMO with a fractional CMO who works 3 days a week. Seriously? In what world does that signal stability and long-term thinking? Camundi haven't just lose faith — they've lost trust, loyalty, and hope. The mass exit has already started. The Board either needs to clean house or accept that Camunda will soon be nothing more than a sad case study in leadership failure.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. While this is tough to read, we understand that it reflects deep frustration and disappointment. We acknowledge that performance, feedback, and trust in leadership are deeply personal topics that can significantly shape someone’s experience at Camunda. The recent changes we’ve made, including the shift toward a leaner operating model were driven by the need to adapt to our current reality and to position Camunda for long-term sustainability. We acknowledge that these recent changes have been significant and, for some, deeply unsettling. Feedback like yours makes it clear that the way we navigated those changes hasn’t felt transparent or steady enough, and that trust in leadership has been shaken. That’s something we take seriously. Leadership is listening, even when the feedback is tough and working toward ensuring that Camunda remains a place people can feel proud to be part of. We remain committed to Camunda’s mission and to evolving in a way that honors the people that brought us here.

      Pros

      Camunda tries to invest in people training and development. Good sharing of information and transparency.

      Cons

      The lack of experience in the Sr. Leadership is catching up with the company. While some highly intelligent people are in top roles, they are lacking the experience to guide decision making, manage performance and make the right moves for the company. Lower management and their teams being held to different performance standards and accountability than top leadership. They are eroding morale and trust, firing people by making up vague concerns over "performance" and changing performance standards and goals on the fly however it supports their case to remove people.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We're glad you felt positively about Camunda’s investment in people development, transparency, and internal knowledge sharing. We understand that not everyone will agree with every leadership decision, especially during significant change. Camunda is undergoing a massive transformation. We're seizing a major market opportunity and evolving from a product-led company into a high-performing, AI-driven, go-to-market company. That shift brings challenges, and we don’t shy away from acknowledging them. That’s why we’re actively focused on maturing our leadership practices, prioritizing clarity in performance expectations, and ensuring accountability across all levels. While we may not be the right company for everyone, our mission remains bold: to build a generational company, attract A-players, and empower them to do the best work of their careers. Thanks again for your feedback. We’re listening even when the feedback is tough, and working toward ensuring that Camunda remains a place people are proud to be part of.
