      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.

      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

      This is a company that is set up for long term success and is striving to be a market leader. The company is on the cusp of achieving big goals.

      Cons

      Camunda is not a place to work if you would like to keep a work/life balance. The CEO has stated as much. Sure, there is an unlimited time off policy, but it's common to see others working during their vacations. You'll be working on your time off too. Hours are long because there is a high workload assigned to every engineer. You're expected to make meaningful progress on many things all at once with no relief on any of them if you'd like to focus on one task. There's no way anyone could accomplish it all in a normal 40 hour work week. With the amount of workload given to engineers, there is no enhanced compensation to make up for it. Salaries and the equity given are nothing special. Why should an engineer be expected to give so much to the company, when the pay and equity is not better than any other place?
