Pros

On the whole it was the best company culture I have experienced. On paper, opportunity to earn/hit your quota looks good. Vast array of out of the box capabilities built on the Platform. Diversity - very positive if you are female.

Cons

Entry level and mid-level SC managers/directors (about 75% of them) are almost totally focused on self-promoting and personal branding activities, either internal activity or LinkedIn messages. Very little time given to coach, mentor and develop the team of SC's they are supposed to be responsible for, most of their time spent on objectives that drive them to promotion. Felt like only lip-service is paid to discussions on growth and development but no actual activity or real tangible support by the manager to help you. There are still issues with diversity. Can be strange that with so much effort made, using positive discrimination methods, that the organisation prefers to fill diversity quota's than the best fit. There are people that still find themselves excluded, Still hearing of employee's passed over, based on what they believed to be, their ethnicity and/or age. Account assignments are key to hitting your quota, plenty of people hitting and exceeding their quota, but plenty of others repeatedly left on maintaining low or non-spending customer accounts. It is a, "if your face fits" environment, get used to it! Way too much pressure to learn new areas and many of my accounts languished in legacy IT solution and low spend cycle, together with the other cons listed above, these caused me to leave.

Pros

ServiceNow has a great story and Bill McDermott is a fantastic leader.

Cons

First and second line leadership is not the best I’ve ever worked with. Micromanagement doesn’t work. Compensation plan is good if you have a good patch, but the plan for reps with one or a few accounts is not motivating.

Not as rewarding as it used to be

Pros

- Good amount of holidays, wellbeing days - Compensation feels competitive, with consistent bonus payout and opportunity for equity refresh - A lot of smart people who are passionate about what they do

Cons

- Unlimited PTO is a farce. Unless you're in EMEA or in leadership, who seem to be out of office two months a year, you will use less PTO than you would anywhere else. - We deliberately choose not to use our own products to manage workflows in most cases, which is honestly embarrassing and not something I think customers would feel great about if they knew. - Santa Clara is full of self absorbed workaholics whipping the org to move at unsustainable speed with shrinking budget and headcount. - Some ambitious leaders have consolidated too much organizational mass under themselves and have managed it poorly as a result, but face no accountability. - Global roles have significant demand and pressure to work essentially across all time zones. I have 7-9pm calls on my calendar almost every day of the week. This is a great opportunity for privileged employees who have little to no obligations or aspirations outside of their career. It's demoralizing for everyone else. - Often feels like an obsession with obscure wall street metrics drives the business more than what we deliver to customers. It's as if we strive to be Sisyphus; we crunch every quarter, we beat and raise guidance to crunch ever more, and every quarter the share price decreases because the market is volatile. Nobody is winning. When the job market opens up again, attrition is going to be wild.
