Meritocracy? Only if you came from DataDomain

Pros

Good product, once great culture and a handful of good people still at the company.

Cons

ServiceNow has become exactly what we said it would never become, just another enterprise software company that lacks innovation and doesn't care about its customers. Nice work Frank! Employees from a DataDomain career heritage are promoted regardless of performance.

Good product, High Stress, Poor work life balance

Pros

Free Friday lunch (oops that went away!), Really great product, but needs some work to be ready for the big time. The founder (Fred Luddy) is a legend. Very humble guy, father figure. The platform is a golden egg to do some explosive innovation and development, but the company culture holds people and hence innovation back CEO focused on the stock price (perhaps that is his job). Competitive pay, Quarterly bonus, Opportunity to move around and do different stuff, good mobility within the organization. Company has lots of opportunity to grow further

Cons

Stress level is just too high. Most of the times the exec staff are siting in their ivory tower (maybe counting their monthly stock sales money). HR is decent, but totally powerless - they mainly tow the line with the exec staff. Stories of abrupt firing and people disappearing one fine morning are really true. CEO's staff needs to understand that the enormous pressure they exert translates from them all the way down into the company and makes a very bad culture and one of zero loyalty. If the stock drops, people will leave so fast that you will have a stampede at the doors. Stock alone cannot build loyalty.

Pros

1. Competitive salary 2. Product is indeed very good if not the best concerning enterprise service management 3. MacBook is nice 4. Some colleagues are indeed very smart and helpful 5. If you can deliver the numbers you´re career will advance very fast

Cons

1. Regular silent firings. If you survive one or two years you´re good and/or very lucky. The bar to get in is quite low so if after a few months they figure out that you don´t meet their expectations they just fire you. 2. Micromanagement like you have never seen before 3. Political cliques. If you don´t have the support of one of the powerful ones and you don´t deliver your numbers you´re toast. 4. You can delete life from work/life balance 5. HR is only the hire/fire department. Don´t expect anything else from them.
