Pros

I do like the Mac that we're given (if you're in software development) Stock has been doing well

Cons

Probably one of the worst place to work - the worst work life balance, lack of integrity from management to employees, unbelievable politics, employees are undervalues and mistreated and yes - they FIRE as many people (or force them to quit) as they hire. Because pretty much their tool sells itself - unfortunately, no much of competition. They need a lot of bodies to do mundane scripting and data entry work - so they hire like crazy. They expect you to do as you're told, not worry about career development, and absolutely no creativity is allowed (all these will get you fired). To bury any bad reviews like this, HR (who's only purpose is recruitment and firing) and senior management posts these (very obvious) fake reviews. Please be warned - and take everything with a grain of salt as you read these shiny reviews about this so called 'demanding and rewarding', 'make an impact and see it', 'hyper growth' company.

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.
