      Pros

      Exceptionally bright and committed colleagues across many functions A well-articulated remote work policy Ambitious mission with real market relevance

      Cons

      Camunda aspires to operate with the intensity and pace of a high-growth startup. That in itself isn’t problematic — many companies pursue that model. The issue is that it asks employees to behave like founders without offering the corresponding rewards or trust. Long hours, blurred boundaries, and a sense of constant urgency are clearly where the leadership wants to take the culture. Yet equity — the very thing that justifies that level of commitment in most startups — is thinly distributed, and for most, inconsequential. Employees are often told to “own” their work, have work life integration, not work life balance, take initiative, and operate with autonomy. In practice, strategic decisions are centralized, upward feedback is filtered, and true ownership — meaningful ownership of the company — is reserved for a select few.

      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.
