      Pros

      Once-in-a-lifetime colleagues (what’s left of them) A mission that could have changed the world It used to be the kind of company you told your friends you were proud to work at

      Cons

      "Lean Camunda" wasn’t a transformation — it was a cultural execution. Leadership dropped it overnight with no warning, no respect, and no real plan. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) is wildly incompetent and inexperienced— totally lost on how to scale a real company without torching its soul. SLT preach "low ego leadership" publicly and act like control-obsessed tyrants behind closed doors. Leadership is making one reckless decision after another — including the absurd move to replace a perfectly good full-time CMO with a fractional CMO who works 3 days a week. Seriously? In what world does that signal stability and long-term thinking? Camundi haven't just lose faith — they've lost trust, loyalty, and hope. The mass exit has already started. The Board either needs to clean house or accept that Camunda will soon be nothing more than a sad case study in leadership failure.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. While this is tough to read, we understand that it reflects deep frustration and disappointment. We acknowledge that performance, feedback, and trust in leadership are deeply personal topics that can significantly shape someone’s experience at Camunda. The recent changes we’ve made, including the shift toward a leaner operating model were driven by the need to adapt to our current reality and to position Camunda for long-term sustainability. We acknowledge that these recent changes have been significant and, for some, deeply unsettling. Feedback like yours makes it clear that the way we navigated those changes hasn’t felt transparent or steady enough, and that trust in leadership has been shaken. That’s something we take seriously. Leadership is listening, even when the feedback is tough and working toward ensuring that Camunda remains a place people can feel proud to be part of. We remain committed to Camunda’s mission and to evolving in a way that honors the people that brought us here.

      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.
