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.
Vanta
Pays extremely well and owns its market niche, but the meeting-heavy culture and low WLB score (3.3/5) signal this is not for anyone seeking balance.
