      Pros

      - There is a significant change underway in the company. - A real remote-first company with mature practices, where you can adjust working hours to achieve high productivity and flexibility. - The pay scale is pretty good (but sometimes it's inconsistent). - The engineers and people in general are friendly and are doing a good job from a technical and cultural point of view. - The product is excellent and promising, and fills a real business gap in the market. - There is a good space for growth as an IC (only if you want to; no one will run after it).

      Cons

      - There is a significant change underway in the company (yes, that's the same one in the pros; it depends on how you look at it and what your goals are). - Middle management is way underperforming. It's pure luck where you get good PM/EM or not. In most cases, PMs/EMs come from software enginering and don't have much experience in management. The PMs/EMs most of the time work in the same way they used to as ICs. The real issue is that the company lacks methods to ensure that middle management improves over time. - Many reviews here discussed the strategy, but in reality, a bigger problem is the tactics! If everything is important, then nothing is! Missing the basics of the trade-offs can lead to either unnecessary chaos or frustration (you can't have your cake and eat it!). - The interviews have some inconsistencies and don't measure what should be measured. The company has changed a lot, yet the core of the interviews remains the same, resulting in candidates who don't fit (they are not necessarily bad, but aren't aligned with the current phase). - The CEO is a good and authentic leader for his role, but he really needs some guidance! For months, the company had a lot of fuss just because he couldn't find proper wording to say the company is changing (even though it's true and makes sense, but the word selection was really bad). This is no longer a German company, but an international one.

      Pros

      Great remote first culture. Every tech stack you could really want to get the job done. Great market leading product. The CEO & Chief of Staff really LISTEN and care. Benefits are wonderful, from health, to 401k and much more. Pay is great for the U.S.

      Cons

      With growth comes pains... we have a lot of new hires & people exiting, which is normal for this type of start up in the midst of a high amount of growth. The toxic leader I believe everyone else posted about is officially gone, so that con is now eliminated.

      Pros

      The people who work at Camunda are, of course, the biggest pro. Benefits are good, as well.

      Cons

      The culture is downright awful. Employee programs have been slashed almost completely - no more retreat, no more regional social gatherings, no time together in person with your teams. Not only that, but the CEO blatantly said Camunda is not the place for job security or work-life balance and if you're looking for that, you can find it elsewhere. People are being laid off left and right. People are fearful for their jobs and I've heard of a lot of team members who are looking elsewhere. The standards that are given when you're hired are sometimes not attainable, especially when there is little to no direction from management. When I started, I had zero training time at all outside of the company onboarding. My team didn't assist at all in helping me learn the ropes- I was just thrown out to the wolves and expected to start projects with no guidance. This tends to be common across multiple teams, as well. A lot of middle management do not know how to run teams and although they go through "people manager training" that doesn't seem to do any good as they're still mostly incompetent.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. At Camunda, we’re in the midst of a significant transformation, shifting from a product-led company to a high-performing, AI-driven, go-to-market organization. That shift brings challenges, and we don’t shy away from acknowledging them. The intent behind our leadership’s messaging is not to downplay the importance of well-being, but to be transparent about the pace and focus required at this stage of our journey. We don’t see work and life as opposing forces. Instead, we believe meaningful work can be an important part of a fulfilling life. That’s why flexibility remains a core value at Camunda. Our fully remote model is designed to give people the autonomy to work where, when, and how it suits them best. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your next chapter.
