Pros

Developed the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, supported by in-depth product training that translates well across roles and industries. Gained valuable experience managing a diverse range of clients, strengthening communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.

Cons

The culture is highly cliquish, which makes it difficult to feel included or supported unless you happen to fit into the “right” groups. There is a noticeable lack of respect from upper management toward employees in lower-level roles, which creates a top-down dynamic that feels dismissive rather than collaborative. The work environment can be toxic at times, with frequent tension between teams and individuals. Cross-functional collaboration is especially challenging—there is often a lack of alignment and, in some cases, clear disrespect between departments, making it unnecessarily difficult to get things done efficiently. Workloads are consistently heavy and often not aligned with compensation, leading to burnout without feeling adequately valued or rewarded. Expectations are high, particularly in sales-related functions, where there is significant pressure to perform, sometimes at the expense of employee well-being or realistic client outcomes. Feedback and management styles are inconsistent, which makes it difficult to understand expectations or grow within the role. Employees may receive mixed signals or lack clear direction, depending on the manager or situation. There also appears to be a disconnect when it comes to client satisfaction. Internal priorities and metrics can overshadow what is actually best for the client, which can be frustrating for those who genuinely care about delivering a positive customer experience. Additionally, the interpersonal environment can feel immature at times, with behavior that resembles a high school dynamic (gossip, cattiness, etc.), which further contributes to an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere.

Pros

I really liked working for Cvent, I am made really good friends, and we travel a lot to cool places.

Cons

They did a massive layoff when covid hit, which was understandable with no events happening, but later they gave us all a call to interview us again, three times, for only a handful of people getting their job back. It was weird and a waste of time.

Pros

Great compensation Gives you the right training for growth. Encourages you to speak out Acknowledges your achievements

Cons

Gives you the training to make you feel like you are growing but you can be stuck for years in the same role Encourages employees to air out their concerns but top management is willing to look the other way despite airing out problems with them directly ( business is business I guess ) Top management in US seems to not care about the grievances of India HQ, Middle East and Australia. Mass resignation happened in the biggest HQ but the only solution they have is to hire newbies instead of questioning why it happened ( yes, business is business ). The "big boss" of the said regional office would just say "no one is indispensable"......but aren't we supposed to be the secret sauce you are so proud of? Licking the director's behind is essential for your survival... and his.
