Pros

-Event tech is really interesting -Fun events and company culture -Nice office in Tysons HQ -Professional opportunities and training

Cons

-Lack of work life balance: there was an expectation to be available past 5pm and weekends by phone or on video call. -Micromanagement: I had to update my manager weekly on exactly how many hours I was working on what. -Team Inefficiency: there were times where my team was completing a powerpoint 5 minutes before a meeting (that we were also working on the night before). Even meeting at night to work on a powerpoint deck for hours was not necessary. -High stress work environment: there was a big pressure everyday from management to get work done and created a lot of stress and rush to get things done

Pros

Friendly people. Most people are easy to work with in Tech Dept. Low stress usually, but this can depend on your team and projects. Company is basically unchallenged in the event management space and grew nonstop for years.

Cons

UX within products was neglected for a long time. Products do actually work but are hard to use for the average person. Extensive training is required. Eventually senior management realized they needed to focus on UX. Sadly the UX leaders they brought in are mostly faking it. These people must think they hit the jackpot to come to Cvent just to BS in meetings all day without presenting a new vision or really any tangible expertise. The user research team jumped ship after a researcher was scapegoated and fired. The content team has a reputation for not understanding what they’re working on and needing their hands held. The design team is by far the biggest team in UX. Some designers are good, some are not, but this may or may not be reflected in their titles. If you don’t know your worth, you will be underpaid. They generally target recent college grads who don’t know what’s fair or normal. As with any company, Cvent is not a family, no matter what they tell you.
