The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Celonis (Madrid) in July 2024
Interview
I did 5 interviews with them including one challenge interview and did not get an answer from them. Started following up with the HR and they answered me a month after my interview that they tried calling me on a phone number i no longer have. In the beginning they also confused my application between intern and associate role. Very disappointing experience.

Question 1
They asked about my interest and knowledge in process mining
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Celonis (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
I applied because someone from the company thought it would be a good fit for me and had no idea how ridiculous the expectations would have been for an "early career" position. I have never once been given a task with homework preparation to learn the companies platform leading up to the first round interview I spent what minimal time I had with the short notice of the interview during a busy season for me, but it didn't matter although I think I did well in their platform exercise at it interview, I was not ready for these gotcha questions.
After that I was told there was to be 2-3 presentation and panel rounds. I have never heard of a more exhausting interview process for position of < 3 years experience.
Last but not least, the interviewer was very rude and showed visible signs of impatience and frustration by the time at the end of the interview, even though I was polite and showed genuine interest, explicitly and respect in even paid compliments. I just knew that I wasn't gonna make it to the second round, big waste of my time.
The recruiter was awesome, though!
Be ready for wild questions or else you will get scoffed at. Makes you wonder if those required training modules they ask you do prior to the 1st round are worth it if you can't make it past the tough guy gatekeeper.
*Edit: I do recall looking at this Glassdoor feed and saw that many people reported being asked a lot of Value Engineer role term definitions. Thus, I also spent quite a bit of my 13th hour moment, I made sure I was solid on all the various key terms (they have a lot). BUT, I was asked 0 of these questions instead - it did not help in my case.

You have _ of minutes for this question: When thinking of an analog clock, what is the angle of 12:15..?
First screening call with HR manager, next a call with the head of the ORBIT program and a future ORBIT manager and finally a technical challenge where you are given a fictional company and have to pitch Celonis' Value proposition given their pain points
