Pros

Amazing and Energetic Exec Leadership Great platform Culture is spotty for some groups but overall there is a positive collaboration across different functional orgs

Cons

Depends on the org, some are very toxic No growth No empowerment No sense of belonging Depends on your relationship with your immediate manager, it will dictate your bonus % versus what you actually brought in to table. Its all about having that PERSONAL relationship versus having a healthy business relationship Unsafe working environment (*for some groups within 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.
