This is not the place that will value you as a professional or human

Senior product manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Global Parental policy for countries that don't have it. Higher salary (7-8%) than other companies. In some regions, you have a meal and public transport allowance on top of your salary. Stock options for the majority of the employees.

Cons

I spent more than 2 years at the company, and I'm still unable to understand the overall leadership decision-making. During my time, I observed a culture that was already brittle become worse after the mandate to only hire from certain big-tech companies. Overall, there is a widespread toxic culture that only promotes certain people, and you quickly realize that this tight group will do anything to keep protecting themselves and to push out others who have a moral compass. The hierarchies are strange and you see several people that lack experience becoming leaders. The feedback system doesn't work and you are at the mercy of your manager even if all of your partners/stakeholders give you outstanding feedback. If you ask HR for help, you will quickly realize that you are on your own. I decided to leave because I felt I was becoming a worst professional and human with Celonis.

A relatively good company - depending on which department & team you work at

Business Outlook

Pros

I really did enjoy my time there and had the great opportunity of working with probably one of the best Directors I've worked with in over 10 years. I feel like I was one of the lucky few, compared to other experiences I read on here, who got to work on an incredible project and lead it relatively unsupervised (i.e. minimal micromanaging), and be actively supported by the team & the Director.

Cons

On the flip-side, and as it says in the title, I have a also had the displeasure of experiencing some chronic and questionable decision-making & mismanagement first-hand in adjacent teams that I was tasked with supporting throughout my first 2 years. Team members would often point out inaccuracies and misalignment in strategy and offer solutions, but their leadership would still press on ahead, only to revert course 2-3 months later, usually after exec leadership calls, and berate the team for not meeting KPI goals. Usually, one would think, that at least after the second time lessons are learned and team-leadership takes accountability & feedback to improve upon a situation like this, but this continued on a quarterly basis. From what current and former team-members told me, a similar narrative started to emerge: After a couple of months they get tired and drained from even suggesting new strategies or improvements because they would get invited to 1-on-1s where they would be berated for voicing concerns or offering feedback in the team slack. And regarding compensation: Nothing to write home about. When you hear "Industry Standard" think average salary. Not bad per-se, but when you are working at one of Europe's and NA's rising start-ups, you'd imagine a slightly more competitive salary.
