Pros & Cons
Celonis
- Strong learning and development opportunities with excellent internal mobility

Bottom Line
Celonis
Process mining market leader with decent equity and a learning culture, but at 3,800+ people expect real corporate layers — best for those who want large-enterprise scale over startup agility.
Notion
Strong product culture with a beloved CEO (96% approval) and genuine design sensibility — but hybrid-required and the pace can burn people out during product pushes.
