What is the hiring process like at Celonis?

- There are many talented people. - The product is very good.

- While there are many talented individuals, conversely, there are also quite a few low performers. In recent years, the hiring process has not been successful, and I feel that the number of people who are good at talking but unable to deliver results has been increasing. - In particular, the number of incompetent managers and above has been growing. - The product itself is excellent, but few employees are able to fully utilize it. Since the product and its concepts change almost every year, many employees struggle to keep up.

Interview process was long but straight to the point and super professional Office facilities are incredible, great location and spacious Staff are incredibly talented and very friendly The parties, the events, the social aspect of it

Pension could be better, it's below par to most companies

I recently interviewed with Celonis, and it was a great experience. The whole process was very organized, clear, and professional. The interviewers were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. They answered all my questions about the role and gave me a chance to show my skills and experience. If you’re thinking about applying to Celonis, I strongly recommend it! The interview process really shows how much they care about making people feel valued.

I honestly have no cons to mention—everything went smoothly.

Nice building and people altogether

Interview process is very time consuming for a scale up

Exposure to a variety of different companies and processes. You get the ability to work with a variety of stakeholders and have the potential to create great connections with customers.

Within the value engineering organization there is no path for career growth. Promotions between levels are based solely on how much you sell/renew and just involve a new title and small pay increase. There is no change in responsibilities between levels. Regular value engineers (a couple years professional experience) are doing the exact same work and are expected to give the same outputs as principal value engineers (10+ years experience). Once you master the value engineer skillset there is nowhere to advance. Accounts are also very siloed, you will be assigned customers and work by yourself. If you are more experienced in your career, probably great but majority of the company is young professionals (0-5 years out of college) and working in siloes restricts ability to learn from others. The sales culture is INSANE. Numbers are hard to hit, the product is constantly changing, and you're always having to learn a new sales motion. You will be expected to attend in depth enablements and complete multiple certifications a year because the product and product strategy are changing so frequently. The company is looking for a very specific type of person as they're hiring new people into the company. As a result there's a lot of folks with the same background which leads to a very homogenous way of thinking. Finally, management has a very " yes" culture. There are certain managers who will stand up for their team and push back but that is not the norm. The norm is for managers to say yes to all requests from leadership and push it to their team to execute (even if the ask doesn't make sense or is a straight fire drill). The management culture is very broken at the upper levels in my opinion.

The work culture is unmatched, Genuinely like nothing I have ever seen or heard of before. Office perks such as free lunch and food. They really make being in the office enjoyable. Unlimited PTO is good.

Very rigorous interview process Meh health benefits.

Not sure they really are any tbh. The product is conning senior managers in clients who do not understand process and are conned by the standard sales patter of value. No real value realised all based on client execs sign off, who want to look good in front of their bosses!

The worst management I’ve ever encountered, bullying culture, not allowed to think outside the standard framework, progression based on if your face fits etc. etc. I could go on!

Celonis is full of amazing people who want to create a company and brand that will be known, loved and recognized for generations to come. There's a creative energy here that's matched by true collaboration and diversity of thought that's going to catapult this company in the next few years to really continuing on this hypergrowth journey as they seek to solve great challenges for both businesses and the planet. The word that I keep hearing of who they aspire to hire are the "changemakers" and I couldn't be more excited to leave my impact and legacy within this company as they really pioneer the Process Mining space.

Like any hyperscale company, there are growing pains to navigate along the journey. But challenges present opportunities, and it takes someone with the right get sh*t done attitude, who thrives in a fast paced environment to really find their groove in this culture.

Celonis offers a strong mix of cutting-edge technology and real business impact. The company is at the forefront of process mining and execution management, which creates meaningful value for customers across industries. You get exposure to complex, high-visibility projects, and the people are generally smart, driven, and collaborative. There’s also solid opportunity for career growth, especially if you’re proactive and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment.

The pace can be intense, and expectations are high, which can lead to long hours at times. As the company continues to scale, there can be some internal complexity, shifting priorities, and occasional lack of clarity in roles or processes. Success often requires navigating ambiguity and being highly self-directed, which may not be the best fit for everyone.
