Pros

Bill did well in brand building, average perks, sales oriented

Cons

Engineering excellence is not only below expectation but terrible to certain extent, tech debt, poor documentation and code quality, slow, unreliable, hard to use internal tools, especially lab and code review tool, all lead to low productivity, and not many people really care, even slightest UI improvement request gets nowhere, servicenow is the only workplace I've experienced no one replies to your email even it's their own problem. untransparent and often biased performance review process, only manager have the say, and it depends on relationship you have with supervisor instead of contribution and impact you've made. title inflation - many so called Staff or higher level engineers basically doing nothing practical , the most unprofessional engineer is one I came across in Sn who still got promoted to distinguished engineer... a fair amount of SWE are internal transferred from different role without proper software engineering experience before at all, switching to Postgres won't solve all performance problems, design and code quality matters, one funny code example I encountered is a data structure is iterated four times to parse data from, where it only to be iterated once, expect all kinds of weird silly stuff, anything can happen here.

Pros

The intellectual firepower in this place is off the charts. The leadership? Battle-hardened veterans with a vision that could melt glaciers. And the office space? Forget minimalist boredom – it's a temple of design that actually makes you want to show up.

Cons

Buckle up, buttercup, because getting anything approved for any selling in ANZ is a freaking minefield. You think you're hot stuff slinging deals? Think again. Every quote you submit gets scrutinised like you're trying to smuggle nuclear launch codes. Enterprise sales needs oversight, sure, but this ain't it. Prepare to have your quotes ripped to shreds with the kind of corporate language that would surely get you cancelled on the interwebs. Passive-aggressive jabs, condescending tones, and enough underhanded comments to make you question your sanity. Sales folks are so terrified of getting their deals nuked, they just take the abuse. Hey, we all need to get paid, right? Bottom line: If you can't handle a daily dose of corporate-sanctioned psychological warfare, steer clear of Sales in ANZ. This place is like a black hole for productivity. Things disappear into the ether, never to be seen again. It's like they're trying to emulate the inefficiency of the old Sydney mono-rail with the fervour of Sydney Metro And don't even get me started on the renewal process. It's a labyrinth of red tape and bureaucratic hurdles that would make even the most patient person throw their hands up in despair, going back to my point about Sales Support teams thinking they're entering the boxing ring with you every time you submit a quote.

Pros

I had the privilege of working at ServiceNow, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. Here are a few highlights: Amazing Customers: ServiceNow’s customers were diverse and innovative, and working with them provided invaluable insights into various industries. It was fulfilling to see the tangible impact our solutions had on their businesses. Incredible Colleagues: The people at ServiceNow were talented, passionate, and genuinely interested in helping each other succeed. This collaborative environment fostered creativity and mutual growth. Continuous Learning: ServiceNow offered many opportunities for professional development. From cutting-edge projects to leadership development, I learned to be more effective at collaborating cross-functionally, proactive, determined, and think bigger. The culture encouraged taking ownership and driving innovation.

Cons

Minimizing Politics: While the culture was largely collaborative, decision-making was sometimes slowed by unnecessary escalations to the C-level. This was always initiated by someone who was overly political, usually because they were making a power move to secure their own professional advancement. Empowering more East-West collaboration would be beneficial to minimize politics and improve efficiency.
