Pros
In the 14 months I spent with Cvent I learned a great deal from an insanely supportive team and manager. Within individual teams there is a lot to be said about peers helping each other to improve professionally. Several amenities in the office are nice, including the nitro coffee and the access to snacks around the floors. Cvent certainly is successful and you will be part of the preeminent event software company (B2B) around the globe.
Cons
Despite the company's success it is clear that the organization is predicated on a solid tech product and brute manpower rather than operating in the sense of good business efficacy. The fact that 42.5 hours is not overtime but a standard schedule on top of hiring people as a solution to near any problem leads me to understand that Reggie and Co. are building out the company for sheer growth, whether that be sustainable or not and whether that be efficient or not. Compensation is far below market as Cvent targets college graduates that don't yet have the bargaining power for a higher asking price. Additionally, promotions and pay increases are slow and low outside of the golden child department of sales-- who seemingly gain promotions at any point out of the semi-annual cycle. If you don't work in sales or tech you WORK for sales and tech and ultimately will be left out of the majority of benefits that the company provides. Cvent has built its post-public growth on hiring and sheer expansion rather than growth and truly applying energy and thought to process and employees
