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.
