Pros

Humble and hungry CEO, with effective leadership to steer the company to increased performance. Solid product and vision, with steady customer base. Great culture for staff. CEO promised not to do mass lay offs in 2020 during the pandemic, and in 2023 during tech crisis, because if people are scared, they can't focus on great customer service. Leadership like this make a world of a difference.

Cons

Time zones and global services require flexibility in terms of working hours. There is a lot of work, and salary is not the best in class. Given that management is quite robust, there are few promotions due to internal glass ceilings.

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.
