Pros

Exposure to a variety of different companies and processes. You get the ability to work with a variety of stakeholders and have the potential to create great connections with customers.

Cons

Within the value engineering organization there is no path for career growth. Promotions between levels are based solely on how much you sell/renew and just involve a new title and small pay increase. There is no change in responsibilities between levels. Regular value engineers (a couple years professional experience) are doing the exact same work and are expected to give the same outputs as principal value engineers (10+ years experience). Once you master the value engineer skillset there is nowhere to advance. Accounts are also very siloed, you will be assigned customers and work by yourself. If you are more experienced in your career, probably great but majority of the company is young professionals (0-5 years out of college) and working in siloes restricts ability to learn from others. The sales culture is INSANE. Numbers are hard to hit, the product is constantly changing, and you're always having to learn a new sales motion. You will be expected to attend in depth enablements and complete multiple certifications a year because the product and product strategy are changing so frequently. The company is looking for a very specific type of person as they're hiring new people into the company. As a result there's a lot of folks with the same background which leads to a very homogenous way of thinking. Finally, management has a very " yes" culture. There are certain managers who will stand up for their team and push back but that is not the norm. The norm is for managers to say yes to all requests from leadership and push it to their team to execute (even if the ask doesn't make sense or is a straight fire drill). The management culture is very broken at the upper levels in my opinion.

Pros

You can say you have a job

Cons

Little to no upward mobility. Lots of manipulation, lies, gaslighting from management and VP. All of management is narcissists and refuse to look in the mirror. Instill fear into their employees. Do not take a job here unless McDonalds is not hiring

Pros

* The people are what make Celonis great. Celonauts from around the globe are always willing to lend a helping hand, regardless of if you've known them a day, a month, or a year. * Product is awesome, fun to work with, and resonates greatly with customers. * Senior Leadership has made a concerted effort to listen to employee feedback over the last year, and have put measures in place in an effort to increase employee engagement.

Cons

* Still some operational growing pains here and there. These will get better over time.
