Celonis reviews

Poor code quality. I felt like while chasing MVPs the company forgot to enforce code quality culture. As a result teams don't write documentation, test coverage is poor and any attempt to improve things is getting suppressed. Poor middle management. The company grew very fast and they didn't get to hire experienced people to leading roles. Yesterday's developers are working as engineering leads for 4-5 teams at the same time. As a result there is no leadership in the teams and no one to resolve conflicts or make decisions. I had a simple conflict with 1 person in the team and instead of resolving it the engineering lead decided to move me to another team and pretend that nothing happened. What is even worse is that I didn't have any expertise in the technology that the new team was working with. Unmotivated HR The first day I joined the company the HR representative didn't know which team I will be working with. He was walking around and asking teams if they know me and if I belong to them. The team appeared to be completely different from the one I was hired for. There was no working place arranged and the first 2 weeks I had to work on a couch. All the newcomers I talked to had the same experience. All the proposals for improvement are getting ignored. It feels like someone is forcing them to work and they are not motivation to do the job.

Some of the normal growing pains associated with hypergrowth companies. Expectations are very high, but getting headcount and additional resources has been a struggle since I joined. While other teams are growing at pace with the business, my department hasn't added anyone in months, even as our scope of work has drastically increased. For some teams, constantly working nights and weekends as well as early mornings is tablestakes.
