A waste of time. Do NOT go through with the process unless you really have nothing else going on (not even a job). The case interview is an absolute time waster. It took me almost 3 weeks. They expect you to do online tutorials and learn how to use the Software on your own, then do a set of dashboards, run analysis on existing data, then build a deck, do ROI calculations, and finally they expect you to present the deck and do a demo (of a Software you never used) and justify your calculations. It seems doable except that the Software is not intuitive at all. Hence the advice is only go through IF you really have nothing else going on. If you already have a job, you might as well just forget about it.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Celonis in Sep 2024
Interview
My advice: Do NOT waste your time unless you have nothing else going on. This was one of the most time consuming interview processes I have experienced in my career. It took 3 weeks of my precious time. To sum it up, it starts easy with no real challenging questions... And then there is this business case. So they expect you to learn how to use their software on your own, with online tutorials, then build tailored dashboards, run your analysis on a software you never used, build a deck, run ROI calculations, to then finally do a demo of the software (that you never used or got trained to use), present your deck, and justify your calculations, This seems doable, except that their Software is not intuitive at all. A 2aste of time, my suggestion is go for it unless you really have nothing else going on.
