Pros

- Solid pay & benefits, lots of money to be made in stock grants and ESPP - The technology is exciting to work with; innovative and in-demand - Fellow SCs are an intelligent and collaborative crew

Cons

- Growing layer of middle management that's inept, arrogant, and more interested in playing politics than actually leading the business or their people - The good leaders that exist are being marginalised and aren't rewarded for doing the right things - Growth and development is a political game and you are a pawn. Promotions and leadership roles are bargaining chips for management to get their own needs met. Most promotions are not about who is best suited to the role, but about the power other leaders gain by moving up their own allies.

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.
