Pros

There are no pros to working for Cvent. The job skills you learn are useless. Cvent has a monopoly on this type of software. Only transferable skills are customer service or sales and there are better places to get this type of experience.

Cons

Bad and clueless management at all levels. Unrealistic service expectations. Buggy code. Poorly designed and maintained product. Broken sales processes and goals. All departments are grossly understaffed. Yearly pay cuts. It is a sweat shop. They deliver on nothing they say or promise. Make now at all costs. Beatings will continue until morale improves. Company is indebted up to its eye balls any hiccup in the overall economy and they are done. No goals beyond getting to a set number in sales. No company direction of any kind. Dead man walking kind of company. No room for advancement besides getting senior next to your original title. Avoid.

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.
