Some say it’s a unicorn, but you’ll soon realise it’s a three-leg-donkey - Anonymous employee Celonis Employee Review

Pros

Great senior exposure and opportunity for experience

Cons

When joining the company I was full of excitement and hope to be part of something big happening and to get the opportunity to climb the career ladder fast in the promised ever growing unicorn environment. But unfortunately with every day I spent at Celonis I was more and more disappointed with realising that I was pushing a three leg donkey, that wasn’t going to move anywhere. No matter how much feedback I gave to the very inexperienced management (that just got lucky to become management because they were at the right place in the right time after university) they simply lacked the leadership skills, emotional intelligence and agility to adjust to business on a global scale. The company is managed by an inner circle of German managers, and if you’re expecting big opportunities and recognition for your work, you’ll have to leave and seek it somewhere else.

Pros

Having equity is good but the problem is that the founders are completely out of touch with the value of their company.

Cons

CEO and Founders need to know that their product is not the only one in the industry, that the majority of their revenues were driven mainly by SAP and ServiceNow partnerships which are now defunct, and that their solution is not completely secure. More importantly, their sales engineering teams are very immature and don't have the business domain expertise to drive true business value for customers without the customer leading that charge.
