I do not recommend. But if you must, make sure to ask a lot of questions, do not fall for the sales pitch. - Product Manager Celonis Employee Review

Pros

The general idea of the product is good and I think if they fix some (a lot) of their systemic issues they can achieve a lot of good things.

Cons

- It doesn't seem like they have any training or pre-requisites for middle-management except having worked at the company for several years. Not everyone can be a good manager and as they said, people leave managers not companies. This leads to a toxic environment and managers with 0 emotional intelligence. - At times the 'rocket ship' almost feels like a cult. Don't know how often you hear about how awesome the company is and how great everything is going without learning more about the actual data and how the product is performing. This is a SALES company, not a tech company. - Talking about data, the product is not data driven at all, decisions are made based on what leadership decides and everyone just seems to follow blindly, data is not available about the performance of the product and if you ask, they will just tell you that doesn't matter. - If you have experience outside the company, they won't let you apply any of your skills. You should just do as they say and create a bunch of slides every time you want to share something. As Steve Jobs used to say: "People who know what they're talking about don't need PowerPoint" - No work-life balance.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and smart people, who unfortunately are leaving.

Cons

Sales and technical teams are not always set up to succeed together, which creates unnecessary pressure on technical teams and contributes to burnout. There is a strong focus on growth, but employee retention does not receive the same attention. Compensation is not always competitive, and career advancement processes can feel inconsistent depending on the opportunities available to you. All approvals run up to founder level.
