Pros

pay was solid. i guess you can get in at a good strike price if you receive a new grant now...

Cons

- Bill and p5 are busy living the high life at F1 races and concerts, while the operators get cut - Leaders have been told not to promote internally. Only external candidates, ideally from salesforce - we just cut 2500 people and leadership refuses to even acknowledge it - Refresh #s are low and we have been told additional stock grants for lower than VP will be <1/2 or 0 - we continue to move away from what our product can actually do now we are just building screens and selling an unrealistic dream

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.
