Pros

The people.. I love the people at ServiceNow. All walks of life, all cultures... working to do their best and make it happen. Employees are very open with their thoughts and feedback. Our management team encourages speaking your mind and addressing issues head on. We may not like the result but it is critical to success. E-staff drives consistent message and knows how to work together well. Consistent focus on results. Pay for performance.. you get what you put in. Office space in San Diego and Santa Clara are really nice. Equity play is HUGE! Be prepared to work harder than you ever have professionally. And can't be shy about getting your hands dirty.. but the rewards are there. It is awesome to be a part of building such an amazing product, work with amazing customers and peers .. and know you are making your mark in the industry!

Cons

Not everyone adjusts well to change.. and we are changing every day at a rapid clip. Growing fast, not everyone is assimilating their new hires so you can find yourself with extra education to do .. but it pays off.

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.
