Pros

*The product backs up its good looks with real business value. *Recent leadership hires are bringing in much needed professionalization. * Talented people as a rule *Bright trajectory

Cons

*Mediocre employee experience because Celonis is fundamentally a product-first people-second company. C-suite talks up culture a lot but the money does not follow the rhetoric. Honestly people don't care about strength finders or fluffy zooms. People care about market-rate equity packages, market-rate benefits and basic support for WFH, like reimbursing for home internet. How far can you drive culture when your people feel cheaped out on and undervalued. Culture and commitment are TWO-way streets *EMS hype is way ahead of where the product is and what most customers can digest. Too much marketing mumbo jumbo, not enough substance, lots of confusion in the field. Look no further than UiPath to see what happens when you get too drunk on your own koolaid. * Chronically understaffed post-sales org. Lots of value being left on the table while waiting for the ecosystem to catch up

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We are happy to hear that you see the strong business value in Celonis as well as the trajectory of the talented and bright people that make up our company. Celonis provides a remote working stipend to compensate for potentially higher costs due to the pandemic. Also, our Compensation & Benefits Team is currently establishing a new company-wide and best-in-class salary structure, including stock option packages, and more. Celonauts are dedicated to our value, #LiveforCustomerValue, putting customers’ success at the highest priority. Our Talent Acquisition team works diligently to hire new Celonauts to match the hyper growth of Celonis, and we have hired over 600 people since the pandemic has started. Please feel free to utilize our newly introduced feedback system CeloVate or speak with me or your manager to take this conversation offline. All the best, Friederike (Talent Acquisition)

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.
