Pros

-Opportunity to work with smart, driven folks -That's about it

Cons

-A mature company still acting like a start up so processes are nonexistent and decisions are made by committee. -The general vibe is pretty bleak. There's a lot of pressure to deliver but no real plan for what to do once that product IS delivered. -Needs more experienced mid-career managers and above. Stuck in the way they've been doing things and needs a reset.

Pros

- Opportunity to learn caused by lack of experience in most DBA/Bi areas. - Good starting location for fresh out of college as the work is relatively easy - Most people are nice - Downtown is nice for those that like to ride the train into Dallas. - CEO seems cool.

Cons

- Favoritism on team. Have mercy on you if you are critical of someone that the boss likes. - They promote once a year. If you are new (Associate) don't get your hopes up for the first 1.5 years. If you are intermediate, don't get your hopes up until 4-5 years of total experience until you can START having those conversations. - Lack of experience / willingness to learn what the industry is moving towards. (People pretended to learn but mostly would read an article and think they were subject matter experts) - Not uncommon for specific members to overstep their bounds to get ahead - Specific members work time: 90% facebook / youtube, 8% pretending to work, 2% actual work - Most bottlenecks was the team itself - 0 accountability. - No in office authority for the team - Inability to move on from consistently under performing team members but will jump on the opportunity to let go of those that disagree with a particular direction. - Belief the team should be completely self managed with little boss interaction (because that person isn't in office) - "Welcome to the team where the roles are made up and the titles don't matter" - Under paid. Left for lower position but got a 25%+ pay bump. "We pay the average" - False statement Should say enough by now.

Pros

Cvent has a young, vibrant workforce that allows employees to build friendships that go beyond the office.

Cons

Inflexible work hours , pay is below industry standard, middle management is promoted from within so they have institutional Cvent knowledge but lack true management skills necessary to make an impact.
