Pros

They hire a lot of young people, around my age, and I made tons of new friends.

Cons

The hours: "Normal" hours are considered 9-6:30. I worked 8-5:30 and when I would leave at 5:30 I was made to feel guilty for leaving "early". I very rarely took a lunch break because I had too much to do. Understaffed: For some reason they refused to hire additional team members to help my team with our workload. We were all always swamped and that made us hate our jobs. Management: They don't listen to their employees, pile on the work, and make the employees feel guilty for taking time off/leaving "early" (which is really on time!)

Pros

- Modern and evolving tech stack. - Collaborative and smart team mates. - Challenging and engaging problems to solve.

Cons

- With Blackstone acquiring Cvent, there's been a big productivity squeeze across teams. I personally believe they're trying to force people out. - Not enough time spent on requirements gathering. Things often feel rushsed. - A lot of repo's are still doing GitFlow. - Not a remote first company or company culture. - You're expected to be attentive in Slack, hard to find focus time for sprint work - Too many meetings.

Pros

- Cvent hires some really fantastic people, who make the work bearable - They're in a space where they are the big fish, which gives them all kinds of market advantages - Company does a lot of promoting from within - If you can handle the culture, you can have a lot of job stability

Cons

- Culture is pretty micro-managing and diminishing - Salaries aren't competitive, and are getting less so - Company is not at all transparent - Remote offices are treated poorly compared to HQ - Work/life balance is a joke
