Pros

- Generous PTO - Fitness Reimbursement - Benefits

Cons

Pronouns - The HR team consistently and egregiously use incorrect pronouns for colleagues. This is important to highlight, as misgendering someone can have a deeply negative impact on their wellbeing at work. What makes this especially troubling is that the HR team should be setting the standard for inclusive and respectful behaviour. If HR isn't a safe or supportive space, where can employees turn? Cronyism - There is widespread cronyism throughout the organisation. Once a people manager joins, they tend to bring in numerous former colleagues, creating insular, exclusive sub-groups. A notable example is the HR team. This dynamic stifles diversity of thought and often leads to stagnation and bias in decision making. Culture Shift - Camunda has undergone a significant cultural shift. In my experience, the focus on employee wellbeing has diminished considerably. Many employee-focused initiatives (jobs, retreats, social events, etc.) have been cut, expectations and workloads have increased. This has led to burnout and employees feeling anxious about the security of their roles.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your recognition of the benefits, such as PTO and fitness reimbursement. These are just a few ways we aim to support our team’s wellbeing. We recognize and fully agree that using correct pronouns is essential in fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace. Pronouns can indeed be challenging, particularly when they're not widely communicated or known. At Camunda, our culture emphasizes candor precisely so that when mistakes occur, they can be promptly addressed, allowing everyone the opportunity to learn and grow. If there have been instances where pronouns were misused, please reach out directly to our People team, or the person directly—we value clarity and want to correct any misunderstandings immediately. Regarding your concerns about cronyism, we greatly appreciate referrals from current employees, as internal referrals often bring in talented individuals who align well with our values. However, it's important to balance referrals with diversity of thought and experience. We actively strive to maintain this balance and will continue to emphasize openness in our hiring practices. If there are specific concerns or examples you’d like us to address, we encourage you to reach out confidentially to our People team. Lastly, we acknowledge the cultural shifts at Camunda. Many of these changes have been intentional and strategic, designed to ensure Camunda becomes a generational company that can thrive for decades to come, effectively meeting both current and future customer needs. We continually evaluate and evolve our support initiatives to effectively balance operational excellence with compassion, integrity and employee well being. We remain dedicated to fostering an environment of trust and respect, fully understanding that our long-term success depends on the wellbeing and engagement of our entire Camunda community.”

Permanent soul searching

Pros

Great technology, good market fit (narrow).

Cons

A minority of managers and senior team (lacks experience) haven't done this before hence constant soul searching, changes and hesitation: slow and demotivating.

Camunda has grown rapidly and continues to evolve through a period of massive transformation. This includes shifts in how we make decisions and communicate change. We never want any Camundi to feel that the organization is becoming political or toxic, and we take concerns like this seriously. We understand that not everyone will agree with every leadership decision, especially in times of change. That’s why we’re focused on strengthening leadership alignment, improving how we connect strategy to day-to-day execution, and fostering a culture that celebrates progress and recognizes contributions, without losing sight of our people. Thank you again for your feedback. We’re listening, and we’re committed to building better every day.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback; we genuinely appreciate your honesty and would like to address your concerns. We understand that layoffs are incredibly difficult and impact not just those directly affected but the entire team. These decisions are never made lightly, and we recognize the frustration and disappointment they bring. Transparency is a core value at Camunda, and we acknowledge that change can be difficult. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Camunda was disappointing, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
