Pros

ServiceNow has a great product and there is a loyal and happy customer base. There are new changes at the executive level that seem to be moving things in a positive direction. The focus on culture is especially encouraging. The location is great and there are some really talented and smart people working here. Budgets are sizable and hiring hasn't stopped in the last few years. The facilities are modern and they allow you to bring your dog to work. Most people have a bias for action and want to collaborate and problem solve to get things done.

Cons

Ever since we got a new CMO about a year ago things have been getting progressively worse in marketing. The amount of nit-picking is absurd and you are left wondering who has their eye on the strategic initiatives that will really help move the needle for marketing. It is very easy to burn out and give up due to the amount of micromanagement and constant pressure to do things as quickly as possible with zero regard to work/life balance. As managers, we are told to constantly look outside for better talent to replace our existing employees (this was an actual training!!!). There is a mentality that people are disposable. It is sad to see because the product and company overall are great.

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
