Pros & Cons
Celonis
- Strong learning and development opportunities with excellent internal mobility
- Great team culture with supportive colleagues and mentorship from leadership
- Below-market compensation compared to other tech companies of similar size
- Frequent organizational changes and restructuring with poor communication from leadership
Wayve
- Great culture — smart, friendly people with a supportive and inclusive familial bond
- Immense creative freedom and autonomy; founders are humble and open to being challenged
- Career progression framework is unclear — salaries and promotions feel arbitrary
- Very ambitious demands create vulnerability to burnout; processes built on the fly
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.
Wayve
One of Europe's top deep-tech companies with excellent Glassdoor ratings (4.4) and a cutting-edge AV research environment — but expect an intense pace and most roles are London-based.
