Cvent reviews

- Other than the CEO & co founder (sometimes the VPs) no managers have any sort of decision making power - They make you sign a 2 yr contract and have now added to the contract that you cannot work for certain companies that are NOT even competitors after you leave Cvent - New initiatives are unrolled too early where there isn't enough bandwidth to get anything done and managers aren't accessible because they are busy with other things - Pay is poor. When I was interviewing, every employer & recruiter said that I was underpaid for my abilities as a sales person. - Management judges your performance by # of hours in the office, not by production. If you want to succeed and move up be prepared to work from 8am to 7pm. "Standard" Cvent hours are 8:30 - 6pm which is already a long day but trust me, that is the bare minimum. - Brown nosing is rewarded - No training whatsoever - There are 3 products at Cvent: Event Management, Cvent Supplier Network, & Survey. If you decide to sign on, make sure it's on the Event management side. The Supplier Network you are selling advertising to a finite universe & the Survey division is overpriced and is a struggle. Event management is Cvent's bread and butter & you aren't selling to a finite universe.

The HR strategy is - i>hire the best by giving them a few extra bucks ii>squeeze them for 2 years. After that they'll burn out anyways. III>block their exit paths with legal obligation a.k.a training bond = 2.8 lakhs ransom iV> don't develop them or else they will have better skills thus, better alternatives v>After 2 years, sell them another 2 yr bond. If they don't buy, hit them where it hurts - bonus/appraisal vi> If you still cant hold them, doesn't matter. In a population of 1.2 billion, suckers are not hard to find. The owners rejoice as they rake in more blood money. The wine glasses overflow. The employee gets poorer day by day and weaker with every drop of life sucked out by ruthless taskmasters. And so the cycle repeats itself. No one notices anything, cries are muffled. Profits soar and people are paid to state that this is one of the best places to work. Moral- think twice before joining companies run by lawyers.
