Pros

Company is leading edge in technology, the future. Generally successful in attracting high quality staff, low to high. They pay well and if you joined early enough, your options could deliver a nice nest egg. Whether or not you agree with your goals and targets, they are typically well communicated.

Cons

If you're an ex-colleague of anyone on the sr leadership team you may be allowed the benefits inside the bubble. For everyone else: you will be digging for gold dust and hopefully be deemed ok. This company should be avoided if you think on your feet and are proactive. Employees will be asked to respond to every whim of their manager and smile while running out to comply. All the bling outside charisma of the 'startup' culture doesn't mean a thing... The culture is mostly corporate, risk averse and set in 50 shades of grey. Customers are treated well before signing, and pretty much ignored until they raise their hand. It all could have been so much better but I feel ServiceNow has missed the opportunity to build a great company. Shareholders won't mind in the short run.

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
