Pros

Company new culture and benefits are good. But the director who is behaving like he owns this company is ruining this company culture.

Cons

Don't join CLOUD INFRA SHARED SERVICES team. All showoff no real work happening. Whatever told during interview like building cloud OS is all lie and after you join the team you will built small applications which noone will use (Developers have to literally beg other teams to use their product else their bonus is gone). Everything about patents, innovations are all lies. Most of the developers time goes on useless meetings. More than 50% of the team left (thats why so much hiring is going on) and leftover are the ones having good relationship with manager who are getting huge hikes and promotions for doing nothing and roaming abroad with family at company expenses. Not to forget if you don't have good relation with the director with the cap then be ready to hear so much abuse and insulting comments from him that you will feel like leaving this company immediately. So if you are good at licking and politics then join this team. This is the worst team in the entire Servicenow.

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.
