Cvent Employee Reviews about "people"

Cons

Nothing as such. Need to focus on Work Life balance and offer a bit of flexibility

Cons

Client services is often undervalued compared to other departments like sales and marketing. However, my biggest reason for leaving was the product. As someone who worked in the product day in and day out for over 4 years, I was not comfortable with the direction of new releases. Tech often releases updates without communicating with Client services. CS is left to figure out how a new feature or setting works and communicate this to frustrated clients. I just wish there was more unity between tech and CS teams. It often felt like cvent wanted to just release everything as fast as possible without proper research or evaluation. Too much change in the product in a single year is not good for customers. Their experience and use of product should come first.

Cons

- The hiring and interview process is intense. Expect a long day of interviews with at least 4-5 managers/team members. You will also shadow an employee to get a sense of "day in the life". - Perception that European-based employees have to be switched on during US hours. There are occasions that there will be a global meeting that runs past standard UK hours and the expectation is that UK and European-based employees attend, however, it is at the most once per quarter. As mentioned in the Pros, it's up to the employee to maintain their own work-life balance and managers will be accommodating. - As we grow larger, there are more processes and budget restraints that we wouldn't have seen 5 years ago. - Benefits are standard but nothing mind-blowing.

Cons

Client Services: The lower and senior management are people who came from a call center 6-10 years ago and never left. Got promoted in ranks through the years, not because of talent but pure need. Untrained trained management and poisonous attitude makes most of the seniors who are capable enough quite and dooms the rest of them to the eternal hellish nightmare that Client Services is. If you want to start up your career in a call center that would suck the life out of you and make you life hell when you try to quit, you are free to join Client Services department in Cvent.

Cons

-Mentors could come across as a big hurdle in your learning at a very crucial juncture, as they are not very professional in training - Negative politics, but woh kaha nahin hota. Company means business...but few people can give you hard times even when you work your heart out.

Cons

- The hours are terrible. You must work 45 hours a week and do not get paid overtime. The standard company hours are 9:00am- 6:30pm. But expect to work at least 50- 60 hours a week. -HR is terrible and very inexperienced. They don't care about the happiness of the employees and do not listen to suggestions. There is no 401 K matching, you have to sign a two year contract and if you leave before two years you could owe up to $7500 back to the company. -A lot of the employees come into work hung over and it is a very unprofessional environment -They promote people to be managers that are very young and do not have the skills to manage a team. -Salary is VERY low compared to other companies in the area - Everyone is very unhappy about their job, but no one leaves before two years because they don't want to have to break their contract. -Overall it is a very un pleasant place to work and very few people enjoy working there.

Cons

There are more than several cons about working for this company. The main problem is that the management, specially the lower and middle management is highly inefficient and unorganized. The company, in spite of it's advertised exponential growth, stands on extremely weak pillars of selfish and self-centric management. The company only boasts of being a Corporate. However, the functioning is still that of a typical bureaucratic organization. In fact, most bureaucratic orgs function much more effectively than Cvent. There are countless other issues. Disparity among growth & development prospects, internal office politics, non-performance linked benefits, unethical conduct of the management, are just some of them to list.

Cons

Too stringent on existing policies and not willing to take exceptions no matter the situation.

Cons

Management is clueless and too many people who are not worth it are at higher positions

Cons

The company is growing very fast and acquiring other companies on the way , so the culture is still evolving in a way.
