Pros

easy to make a mark at an up and coming SaaS company. Lot of new product that comes out and a large platform so there is plenty to sell. Empathetic Sales leadership (not toxic like some places). Does a good job putting women in leadership. Cvent is open to change in areas to get better and even our most junior reps can make recommendations to leadership on things to change. Regularly gives pay raises and clear advancement tracks.

Cons

Benefits are sufficient but underwhelming for the Tech space. Would like to see more health insurance premiums paid by Cvent. 401K matching is below industry average. commission can be hard to track.

Pros

Friendly people. Most people are easy to work with in Tech Dept. Low stress usually, but this can depend on your team and projects. Company is basically unchallenged in the event management space and grew nonstop for years.

Cons

UX within products was neglected for a long time. Products do actually work but are hard to use for the average person. Extensive training is required. Eventually senior management realized they needed to focus on UX. Sadly the UX leaders they brought in are mostly faking it. These people must think they hit the jackpot to come to Cvent just to BS in meetings all day without presenting a new vision or really any tangible expertise. The user research team jumped ship after a researcher was scapegoated and fired. The content team has a reputation for not understanding what they’re working on and needing their hands held. The design team is by far the biggest team in UX. Some designers are good, some are not, but this may or may not be reflected in their titles. If you don’t know your worth, you will be underpaid. They generally target recent college grads who don’t know what’s fair or normal. As with any company, Cvent is not a family, no matter what they tell you.
