Cvent Reviews

Cons

- Culture can at times feel internally competitive, rather than supportive - Leadership does not put a lot of focus on motivation, morale, and fatigue - No profit-sharing - RTO policy is an ethical violation of bodily autonomy - Benefits aren't the best - 45 hour work week

Cons

With the company being this big, there's a bunch of logistics and old-school processes in play. It can get tricky to find your way around and take care of things efficiently. So, there's a learning curve to figure out how to get stuff done. But honestly, we don't always nail it when it comes to being as slick and effective as we want. And that's a major bummer because it leads to a lot of frustration and wasting time and resources instead of really making a dent.

Cons

Bond for 2 years Retention bonus in name of increment Illogical Team hierarchy structures

Cons

India Management has somehow mixed up its priorities. Take too much time to take correct decisions. No longer the paymaster it used to be.

Cons

Because the culture is very laid-back, it may not be suitable for individuals with a high achiever personality.

Cons

Company was recently sold to a Private Equity firm and the changes are not employee-friendly. The people I worked with were genuinely talented and great teammates. However, the sales culture here is scam-heavy. A lot of strategies for extracting revenue from customers any way possible. This is fine for corporate customers that are often employing counter-measures in negotiating. However, it's ethically gray when working with non-profit, education, small-businesses, and charitable organizations. I worked here for 22 months, and because I was short of the 2 year mark, my last commission check was withheld because of a sneaky clause I agreed to when I signed my employment contract. It's not surprising employees are treated this way when I think of how we treated customers.

Cons

Less and varied payscale as compared to market Monotonous work Workload

Cons

Due to rapid growth, the company's goals or strategy can be rapidly changing. Aggressive growth can lead to aggressive demands from employees which can be stressful at times.

Cons

Very toxic if you aren’t hitting quota, called out in front of whole team to explain deal by deal why you couldn’t get it forecasted in time, extremely embarrassing conversations for your team members to watch that should be private, team meetings are just pod manager telling team everything they are doing wrong - why not address these 1:1? Why yell at whole team constantly when one person does something? Blackstone just took over and pod leader is already threatening to us that we are replaceable and they’ll bring new talent in better than us so we need to sell more to keep our job. We’re told to foster relationships with hotels but then if they don’t sign when we want to, we are supposed to pressure them and tell them they need us and for us to care less about the hotels. It’s sad because the leaders on top seem great, but pod managers are too busy to be accessible and can’t offer guidance. Everyone is on their own confused trying to find information and who to ask. It’s overwhelming for anyone newer to the company and then they wonder why we can’t hit our numbers when there is so much information accessible to us that it can take hours to try and find yourself, and our pod leaders never have time for us so when you work from home be prepared to be on your own island.

Cons

You need to showcase your skills by performing good to grow
