Full of Politics

Pros

There are some good intelligent people like Fred Luddy, Pat Casey, Allan Leinwand in the company from whom you learn a lot.

Cons

No appreciation of work, Managers really don't know anything other than politics, No Work-Life balance, Work 9-6 and then take offshore calls as well in the night. No Promotions if you are not good at politics!

Good product, High Stress, Poor work life balance

Pros

Free Friday lunch (oops that went away!), Really great product, but needs some work to be ready for the big time. The founder (Fred Luddy) is a legend. Very humble guy, father figure. The platform is a golden egg to do some explosive innovation and development, but the company culture holds people and hence innovation back CEO focused on the stock price (perhaps that is his job). Competitive pay, Quarterly bonus, Opportunity to move around and do different stuff, good mobility within the organization. Company has lots of opportunity to grow further

Cons

Stress level is just too high. Most of the times the exec staff are siting in their ivory tower (maybe counting their monthly stock sales money). HR is decent, but totally powerless - they mainly tow the line with the exec staff. Stories of abrupt firing and people disappearing one fine morning are really true. CEO's staff needs to understand that the enormous pressure they exert translates from them all the way down into the company and makes a very bad culture and one of zero loyalty. If the stock drops, people will leave so fast that you will have a stampede at the doors. Stock alone cannot build loyalty.

Pros

it is an incredible environment to behold. Nearly everyone I interact with is extremely passionate about the ServiceNown platform and our ability to fundamentally change the way people work. The founder, Fred Luddy, is one of the most brilliant, yet at the same time humble, people that I have ever met.

Cons

Success requires immensely hard work and the hours are long, but the results in customer success and personal reward are worth it.
