Pros

If you're a naive, recent college grad with little to no experience in the meetings & events world who desperately needs a job and will work long hours for a measly salary and marginal benefits, then you've landed on the perfect place to work!

Cons

- CEO is pathetic. He's the most unpolished, full of himself cheapskate out there who is only successful because he locks his clients into iron-clad contracts, nickels and dimes them (i.e. charging his own customers implementation hours for a required migration from the Lanyon platform to the Cvent platform--both owned by HIM), and treats his employees like nameless & faceless minions. - Management spends more time requiring employees to document productivity than actually encouraging them to be productive. You'll be spoken to if you're timecard (required even for seasoned professionals) is below 45hrs/week. - "Bleed Blue" or you're out! If you're not loyal and kiss up to your managers or to leadership, you'll be looked over for any kind of promotion. - Any kind of "promotion" is a scam to trick the above naive, recent college grads to think there's upward mobility. Is it really a promotion when someone in the same role goes from Analyst to Sr. Analyst, to Consultant, to Sr. Consultant, to Asst. Lead, to Lead, to Sr. Lead, to Asst Mgr, to Mgr, etc.? Wake up and smell the Kool-Aid. - They refer to India as their "Secret Weapon" and everyone is required to give part of their workload to the teams there. At one point there was an MBO related to it. - Benefits (i.e. health, 401k, vacation policy, etc.) are horrible. I mean, that would require Reggie to open up his wallet for something other than his own purpose that can't be shown via a PR stunt.

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.
