Cvent reviews

Cvent has been a great start for my programming career. There are experienced programmers that have been good mentors for me, many of them are helpful and patient and the company encourages the collaboration. There are also programmers that have just started their career like me, so I've gotten to learn alongside my peers and train them on occasion too. The culture is good. The technology group in the company is very relaxed about dress code (jeans and t-shirt are the norm). I haven't met any big egos or programmers that are very territorial about their code. People are generally happy to help you. I'm friends with many of my co-workers and its normal to hang out after work together. The workplace is well run and efficient. I've seen multiple processes change over the one year that I have worked here, and they didn't change because someone in upper management hear about scrum for the first time. Most of the changes have been driven by bottom up feedback. I trust my managers and project leaders, and when I give them feedback I know they are listening and often implementing my suggestions. The work is interesting and engaging. Event management itself isn't a fascinating subject, but the programming and mental challenges that I face on a daily basis easily make up for it. I've rarely ever felt bored and underutilized. The company is doing well. Since its a growing company they haven't been stingy about pay and raises. There is an office in India, and its not difficult for regular employees to get a heavily subsidized trip to India (travel expenses covered, daily stipend for food, corporate housing, corporate driver). If you don't care about going to India then this might count as a con for you.

I joined Cvent about 6 months ago and so far it has been a "spot on" move. An amazing culture that is Agile, dynamic and fosters collaboration, and teamwork. You get to work on the latest technology and are always appreciated. I have tenures with 3 companies before and Cvent is by the far the best company in balancing my work-life. You work hard, you play hard but still have time for family.
