J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Celonis en août 2024
Entretien
The whole process took almost two months and consisted of a phone interview, behavioral interview and then a challenge. The challenge consisted of learning all about the EMS and creating a presentation on sample data. They pair you with a buddy who is required to meet with you for like an hour and a half over two weeks. I spent 10+ hours on this project and it was difficult to do considering you are expected to know a lot about the EMS, so many hours are spent just tirelessly going through company resources. The interview process is very very tiring and they have a lot of expectations in your ability to know the technical aspects of their system, being a good presenter, putting everything together nicely, and even knowing company history. It was too much basically and they did not even give me feedback after all that when they rejected me. Overall it is just really stressful and frustrating, the guidelines are extremely vague and you are expected to dedicate hours of your time pulling together a presentation which they judge fairly harshly.

Question 1
What is one time you made a mistake and how did you recover?
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Celonis (New York, NY) en avr. 2026

I applied because someone from the company thought it would be a good fit for me and had no idea how ridiculous the expectations would have been for an "early career" position. I have never once been given a task with homework preparation to learn the companies platform leading up to the first round interview I spent what minimal time I had with the short notice of the interview during a busy season for me, but it didn't matter although I think I did well in their platform exercise at it interview, I was not ready for these gotcha questions.
After that I was told there was to be 2-3 presentation and panel rounds. I have never heard of a more exhausting interview process for position of < 3 years experience.
Last but not least, the interviewer was very rude and showed visible signs of impatience and frustration by the time at the end of the interview, even though I was polite and showed genuine interest, explicitly and respect in even paid compliments. I just knew that I wasn't gonna make it to the second round, big waste of my time.
The recruiter was awesome, though!
Be ready for wild questions or else you will get scoffed at. Makes you wonder if those required training modules they ask you do prior to the 1st round are worth it if you can't make it past the tough guy gatekeeper.
*Edit: I do recall looking at this Glassdoor feed and saw that many people reported being asked a lot of Value Engineer role term definitions. Thus, I also spent quite a bit of my 13th hour moment, I made sure I was solid on all the various key terms (they have a lot). BUT, I was asked 0 of these questions instead - it did not help in my case.
