Pros
Without a doubt, the people make your experience at Cvent great. Many have made lasting friendships and it shows. Benefits and office perks are good, with a social and collaborative environment. The company has really invested to bring global teams together with state of the art meeting/conferencing technology - it's the best I've ever seen.
Cons
As the review title states, the number of hours you work is valued more than the quality of work you are producing. "Eighty is the new hundred" is a mantra you will hear often which means sacrificing productivity and work-life balance to be seen sitting at your desk, being the first to arrive and the last to leave just to produce mediocre work. Execs have been known to take note of who is still working at 6 or 6:30pm and when you come in and leave has been tracked in the past. If you can thrive in a chaotic environment with constantly shifting priorities and projects that do not align with the goals of the business, then this may be right for you. Some departments seem to be more stable than others, but many are run by the demands of the CEO, President and some EVPs. VPs and other senior leaders are rarely empowered to make decisions which is then carried down to managers and employees. That has created a toxic environment for many and morale in some departments are at an all time low yet nothing is ever done.
