Pros

Flexible work schedule Chance to interact with hard working individuals Dominant in tech/SaaS/events industry

Cons

Owned by vista equity partners. A lot of strict oversight leeks into the Cvent culture. Selfish CEO who will save money at expense of employees Profit-centric company bending over backwards to impress ownership

Pros

Ability to move up quickly Cool product Office is modern Benefits are okay

Cons

While Cvent is still trying to fix its diversity and inclusion, they have a long way to go. Starting at the top. They are making efforts, but not sure if it is because they are "supposed to" or if because it is the right thing to do Retention is only because they make you sign a loan to stay. they do not tell you about the loan until your first day at the job. If you leave before 18 months you have to pay the loan back. This policy is ambiguous and does not apply to everyone. Event after you get promoted, they make you sign a 1 year loan to stay. Never have seen anything like this in my life. If you treat people right, retention will follow. You shouldn't have to contractually hold someone to stay. The pay is terrible for the DC area. Lots of internal politics. You do not have the opportunity to travel internationally like they market/advertise on job descriptions. Such a small opportunity They don't completely lie to you, but they stretch the truth change payment and comp plan/KPIs frequently - no checks and balances

Pros

Decent place to start your career and continue with a “college” lifestyle. You are wooed with happy hours, cool office and a young vibrant culture.

Cons

Management is awful. Micromanagement is even worse. They have a very sketchy training loan that they force their sales reps to sign upon first day in office. Inner office politics play a huge part in your success. HR violations happening from the top down. It seems they have a system of success working by which they take advantage of young people right out of college who don’t know any better. Some seem to drink the kool aid for a while and others wake up and smell the coffee eventually...
