Pros

ServiceNow is an excellent company with a great value proposition. The pay is reasonably competitive compared to competitors in the enterprise SaaS space. All my colleagues working in other departments love their jobs and enjoy doing meaningful work.

Cons

This review is specific to HR (Global Talent). I’ve been working in the department for 3 years and it’s had its ups and downs. The most recent down swing has been terrible. There has been a mass exodus among HR leadership, and with it, any semblance of empathy for a department that’s been beaten down. The interim leadership has brought in fresh blood from organizations like Walmart which have brought along their toxic culture from those organizations (I.e. kick down and kiss up, a culture of fear and threats) that has driven down our employee engagement scores to the lowest in the company (by a large margin). In the most general sense, it is a terrible place to work within a company that is a great place to work.

Pros

Great stock plans when joining company. Flexible hybrid/remote model depending on your role within the organization.

Cons

Stock has dipped quite a bit after the split but seems to be making a comeback. That hurts stock plan received upon offer.

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
