Pros

We just had our annual company kickoff at our international hub in Madrid and it was really inspiring

Cons

There are no downsides as there are only very few such inspirational companies out there, so I really appreciate being a Celonaut

Pros

Engineers in Europe are humble and great to work with

Cons

Politics through the roof. CEO has serious trust and control issues — Eng called at home 5 levels below. Why couldn’t their mgmt do that ? Why bypass all the levels which are there for a reason? Executive trust at an all time low … 50%… that’s an internal metric so if anything it’s inflated. Massive tech debt and horrible leadership decisions. Good luck!

Hi - thank you for sharing your feedback, although we're disheartened to hear about your negative experience at Celonis. We take all feedback seriously as we strive to create a positive and supportive work environment for all employees. We appreciate your acknowledgment of the talented engineers in Europe. Collaboration and drive are values we hold in high regard, and we're glad to hear that you found those qualities among your colleagues. Celonis is going through a time of change, and with that comes some growing pains. Our leadership is committed to engaging employees through various initiatives, including global listening tours and engagement surveys. For example, feedback around leadership resulted in the introduction of our Leadership Principles and trainings to unite our leaders and guide them through this time of change and beyond. We're concerned to learn about your issues with executive trust and leadership decisions. Trust and transparency are fundamental to our company culture, and we take any breaches of trust seriously. We would like the opportunity to connect with you directly. If you wouldn't mind, please contact talent@celonis.com - we hope to hear from you. Thank you. Team Celonis

Pros

Incredibly smart people with a very positive and collaborative culture. The product concept has huge potential and universal applicability.

Cons

The founders and leadership/management teams are all young and inexperienced in large-scale enterprise technology. This has led to some unorthodox team structures and responsibilities. Whether this is successful or not remains to be seen, but there is more than a whiff of improvisation. What is certain is that if you are an experienced professional it will be different to what you are used to. Hitting targets, especially landing new customers, has proven difficult in the last two years. If, however, you are early in your career the organisation provides a great opportunity to gain experience quickly. 2024 is a critical year for the company. In order to differentiate itself from copycat vendors Celonis has created a new approach to process mining: object-centric process mining (OCPM). This is a groundbreaking innovation. However, its release feels rushed and poorly tested/documented. The solution requires customers to start again in order to reap its benefits. A successful implementation also depends on coordination/synchronisation across the customer organisation. This has made a large centre of excellence a pre-requisite for any customer. Celonis skills, especially OCPM are very thin on the ground, including within the partner community. If, and only if, customers buy into OCPM in 2024 will the future look as bright as it did a few years ago.
