Pros

I had a lot of fun and experience a lot of growth during my time at Cvent Very fun and lively environment Constant growth has allowed for many opportunities for work that expands Happy hours, holiday party and other non-work events Most of management is approachable

Cons

Benefits are OK, not competitive but not bad either During the end of my time there, some questionable hiring decisions were made (to fill seats instead of seeking talent) Management allows certain employees to get away with behavior that is damaging to the team and the company At times, work/life balance can get bad - this tends to depend on the manager's personality Performance reviews were inconsistently handled When people left the company, they were treated poorly from the moment they put in their notice. Afterwards, nothing positive could be said about them. It was scary to see the switch in people's views. No introspection was taken by senior individuals or management to understand the deeper issues that led to a person or people leaving.

Pros

• Great culture: innovative, energetic, fun and yet we take work seriously. • Office: West-coast tech feel, much more casual than typical DC companies (as some others have also pointed out). • People: some of the brightest, yet down to earth that I’ve worked with. • Work: rewarding, whether you’re in sales, client services, or another division, you see how your job impacts the organization. • Benefits: they keep getting better. Cvent just announced that we’ll be receiving a matching 401(k) later this year (yay!); costs for family insurance are less than they have been historically (the insurance isn’t cheap, but getting better and the coverage is good); and work-life balance is improving (more PTO, summer hours, and flexible schedules).

Cons

• There are growing pains… because we are growing. Cvent is hiring a lot of employees. Not all of them are always a great fit. For example, some people get into sales, try it out, and decide sales isn’t for them. • Some people may still think work-life balance is an issue. There will always be those that want the 40-hour work week and that isn’t Cvent. We’re a growth company and the recruiters certainly made that clear to me when I was brought on board. Personally, I don’t mind as long as Cvent continues granting me the flexibility to leave early if I need. • The environment can be a little chaotic. Sometimes that can be frustrating; but it also creates opportunities. I’ve been able to impact how we do business over the years in more ways that I can count. That is incredibly rewarding. And the chaos is born out of us growing and doing business – expected and not necessarily a bad thing.
