Pros

I joined Cvent as an entry level employee, and have had the opportunity to grow with the company. Cvent demands hard work, but rewards it as well – I have seen many others promoted up the ladder into leadership positions here. Cvent placed their trust in me and gave me a lot of responsibility when I was just a year or two out of college, and I have really valued the degree of independence I've had on my projects. If you're looking for a fast-moving, high-growth company where you will learn a LOT about the realities of running a successful business, Cvent is the place for you.

Cons

Cvent does require hard work. People who just put in the hours tend to get dissatisfied. The people who thrive (and get promoted) are those who work hard and take ownership of their projects. Different departments have different dynamics. Many people on this site criticize the company for micromanaging them – that's not the case in the marketing department or many other teams. I've been here a long time and have never been micromanaged.

Pros

Young, smart coworkers Plenty of outings and happy hours. If you work hard you can do well, and will advance quickly.

Cons

They don't match 401k's. Their excuse (Reggie) says it is because they pay such high salaries. But they pay considerably less than the national and DC average. Very metric driven. Monitor everything you do. 2 year contact! It is constantly evolving as they company is run by lawyers. Orginally it was $7.5 K and it went to a charity in India. It is still around except the charity was shut down. Regardless checks are made to Cvent. Constantly hiring. The revolving door is fierce. It is almost like they engineer employee obsolescence. Middle management is very inexperienced and young. They also are very dishonest about certain managerial processes, like fair compensation between coworkers in similar roles.
