Pros

The company invests a lot in its employees and its infrastructure to stay at the top of their market. The most obvious results of this are tons of professional as well as personal opportunities that keep the job interesting and challenging day to day. The benefits are great, the pay is great, and the company culture is going for that young, hip tech company vibe which makes it an awesome place to work especially for people starting out from college. Its easy for your peers to turn into legitimate friends, which is something that a lot of people take for granted when choosing a job where they will spend so much of their time.

Cons

Very work hard/play hard atmosphere, which means work-life balance is tough to maintain. If you're looking to make a lot of money its great, but the hours are pretty long and the traffic is pretty bad in the area where the HQ is located.

Pros

The company has been named one of the best places to work in the DC area by the Washington Business Journal 5 out of the 6 past years. There is a reason why the company consistently receives this award. Cvent has a great culture, high performers move up the ranks quite quickly, and we receive constant communication from our senior leadership team! The events, as we are an event management software company, are out of this world!!!

Cons

The company could be more flexible in regards to hours/flexibility. It would also be nice to have a more lucrative benefits package for employees with families vs. individuals.

Pros

In the time I have been at Cvent I have had the opportunity to travel around the country, work on marketing collateral, work closely with the senior management team, helped to interview and train new employees on my team, communicate with my colleagues in our London office, and all within less than one year of working here. Early responsibility comes at you fast here, but it is a great chance to show your strengths. I am not micro-managed at all and am given freedom to work how I feel I am most productive. But if help is needed, my team is always there to support me. If you want to be a leader at Cvent, start acting like one and you will be treated as such. When you work hard and do well--Cvent is great at recognizing that--and that motivates me to work harder. I am looking for a place to build a career. And since everything happens so fast at Cvent (in one year I saw the company open a UK Office, go public, launch an Audience Management Platform, and now we are moving to a brand new building in a few months) you get that exposure and gain skills faster than you would at other companies. Of course, the culture is a huge plus. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt any day of the week is a really nice option to have. I love taking part in our ping pong tournaments and have fun socializing with my co-workers at Cvent sponsored events. And I can honestly say I have made some of my best friends here. I am always excited to come into work and see what is going to happen next.

Cons

The hours are longer than some companies, but they flyyy by fast. Cvent is so fast-paced, growing, and busy that by 6:30 I feel like I still need more time to get everything done. By Friday I am definitely ready for the weekend, but I would rather be really busy and time flies by, than bored and feel like time is dragging.
