Pros

The people -- colleagues, customers and partners. Uniformly some of the best, smartest and most interesting people I've met or worked with, ever. The products -- not all perfect, but innovative, effective and well-liked by customers, partners and influencers.

Cons

How the company has come to treat its people. The people are typically better to each other than the company is to them, despite the perks. What used to feel like a cohesive team came to feel more like divided, sometimes divisive factions after the 2012 IPO. People terminated suddenly and walked out of the building in the presence of others is not the way to build or sustain high morale.

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.
