Pros

Cool product. Experienced, sincere and highly competent management. Unlimited PTO. MacBook issued if you prefer.

Cons

Legitimately the worst opportunity for a salesperson I've ever observed- long sales cycle, overly complex sale in all phases, services exceed subscription cost making it cost prohibitive and your comp. minimal, exhausting POC, painful implementation, ridiculous quotas you couldn't even hit in four years. There are two people in sales who have ever done well at Celonis because they started early. Had all the accounts and everything was sold by SAP. Now you'd have 10 accounts in Strategic (Enterprise), 25 in Key (Mid-Market) and SAP is a rival after buying a competitor. Consulting firms won't actually work with you for the reasons stated and ServiceNow isn't going to save you. Growth is not through commercial accounts, but through large consulting firms preloading years of credits upfront through a deep discount and often using those into your accounts in their proprietary form, undermining your viability.

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.
