Pros

- Compensation usually above market - (Formerly) great equity grants - Very high growth - Excellent marketing - Extensive training opportunities

Cons

- Internal culture at management levels ranges from non-existent to toxic and hostile - Once fully vested, people leave almost immediately, which shows how little the environment actually provides past compensation - Despite internal messaging there is a sense that the music will stop sooner rather than later and things will get worse quickly - Customers are beginning to dislike the company as much as they like the product

Pros

ServiceNow had a differentiated platform and products. Early on the culture had a startup energy that was rare for a company this size collaborative teams, ownership, and a sense that people actually cared about outcomes. Working with large enterprise customers on complex workflows was interesting work.

Cons

The ServiceNow I joined was a different company. As headcount increased, so did the bureaucracy, layers, and friction that rewarded politics over execution. The layoffs of the last few years were handled poorly little transparency, inconsistent communication, and decisions that felt made far above with little thought for the people affected. The "cost optimization" messaging rang hollow against continued executive spending. For a company that sells workflow and people process tools, the irony of a chaotic RIF wasn't lost on anyone in the field or on customers. Leadership political dynamics were real. The right team, the right manager you had cover. Performance alone didn't protect you.
