Pros

Having observed and experienced the internal environment at Cellulant, I feel compelled to share an honest perspective — especially for those considering a move from well-structured, reputable organizations. Despite the public-facing optimism, Cellulant suffers from a deeply toxic work culture that is not only overlooked but arguably sustained by top leadership. The CEO appears disconnected from the realities junior and mid-level employees face daily, and genuine employee well-being is largely ignored. Year after year, the company remains unprofitable. Unfortunately, this is masked by questionable financial reporting practices, where performance is portrayed inaccurately to shareholders. These internal inconsistencies and pressures trickle down, resulting in a lack of transparency, unstable strategy, and growing distrust. High attrition rates speak volumes — many talented individuals leave after short tenures, disillusioned by broken promises and burnout. If you're coming from a healthy, reputable company, think twice. While the brand may appear innovative from the outside, the reality inside tells a different story.

Cons

Well compensation for the senior roles Lunch is provided as an incentive Hybrid work model
