Pros

- As a developer I would find it very difficult to justify leaving Cvent at this time. The technologies being used and expertise in technology are a rare find. - Cvent uses a lot of great technologies some being React with Redux, ES6, Docker, Webpack, Babel, Java, .Net, Postgres, AWS - There are always new technology to learn so you'll never feel complacent. - Management values those who are serious about technology and own the products they work on. - Good benefits. - The pay is competitive. - Work from home days - Very diverse and multi cultural workforce - Subscriptions to various of technology training sites like plural sight and safari books - The culture is your typical tech company beer, foosball, ping pong, arcade games, and whatever other fun stuff someone thinks of.

Cons

- The tech divisions weekly hour expectations are 45 hours a week. Not sure how much of a con this is given that most developers are working more than 40 hours a week anyways. - Sometimes trying to stay on top of all the technologies can be overwhelming as there is a lot to learn and you have to be able to pick them up quickly to meet sprint commitments. - Remote offices can sometimes feel out of the loop from HQ - This is a fast paced organization, if you're not serious about technology and aren't able to pick things up quickly you could fall behind.

Pros

Great sales leadership, great sales team, lots of really good sales tools. The Sales teams and AM teams are really outstanding, as is the sales centric culture here. Sales leadership is proactive, sharp, and seems to adapt well.

Cons

Pay and benefits are... poor. In sales they can get away with it b/c the culture is so good but for other things, the company is really just cheap. they lose a lot of talent b/c they leave for average salaries - Cvent is below average. Sales training and enablement is a mess. It's a very reactive team, focused on checking the boxes. They talk a lot about moving fast, iterating... but things are very slow, get bottled up with leadership a lot. Leaders in this group are mixed. When they are focused and listening they can be good, they tend to fight for their people well. But they don't listen a lot, mostly they just push for the answer they wanted from the beginning, and b/c they are trying to go fast, they rarely slow down and look at the big picture. Then when there are bumps in the road or complaints later, they are suprised.
