Pros

1. People are very talented. 2. Highly enthusiastic people.

Cons

1. Apps teams are bugged heavily by customers, always one is in confusion on what to work on between development vs customer ticket. 2. Apps teams, especially managers should come out of the fantasy that world = service now 3. Apps teams are Bound by Platform which is using a technology that is outdated not today but a decade ago. 4. Platform offers a single hammer to solve all the problems (Some solutions offered by the platform are very illogical, it is very obvious to make you laugh). 5. If one customer comes with a request rate of several Thousand ~ millions of requests / minute, mark that is the end day for them to use Service Now. 6. Platform doesn't scale beyond a certain point, as it is bound to MySQL and heavy XML parsing.

Pros

Solving important problems at scale.

Cons

The culture has gone downhill. High performers are not awarded the way they once were. Bureaucracy and complexity have made it nearly impossible to deliver efficiently. There is no a strong product management function, no clear platform, strategy, and leaders have become less empathetic and more toxic as we have grown. Unlimited vacation actually accomplishes the opposite of what it is billed as. Whereas previous tech companies had X number of weeks protected for vacation, at ServiceNow you always feel bad for taking time off and know that people are watching.
