Pros

Rising Stock Value and some free snacks in the kitchen !

Cons

1. Petty Politics : Immature, individuals with low functional experience leading major initiatives. Product politics translating into an inability to create delightful customer experiences. 2. Musical Chairs : Constant unnecessary organizational changes to cater to "extremely" insecure and political leaders at the top trying to maintain their power balance and trying to give their equally insecure and incompetent inner circle plum positions of power and manipulation. 3. Toxic Work Environment for Women : Women Managers are especially badly treated with no growth prospects and promises made that are not kept...just take a look at the number of women over manager level in the product organization (way way lower than standard benchmarks). I have personally seen multiple cases of women getting bullied at work and not having the courage to speak out due to fear of retaliation and getting fired or demoted at a whim. 4. Inefficient Sales - this team knows how to effectively sell IT solutions but is faltering very badly when it comes to selling other new products, makes you question SNOW's strategy of selling into new segments and verticals ...if I had to come up with two words for it - EPIC FAIL! 5. Lots of lip service and talks about transparent culture and diversity but is a culture built on dirty politics, games and intimidation Tag Line for the company should be changed to Create experiences that destroy employee morale and drive fierce disloyalty and dislike!

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.
