Pros

Management of my team is wonderful, at the high level down through middle levels. Salary quite competitive. Quarterly bonuses rather than annual. Casual environment. Peer support is wonderful in the teams I work with.

Cons

San Diego office located in a congested area, creating a moderately tough commute to/from many areas. Multiple teams creating projects with limited communications means that your code may break because of changes from another team.

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.
