Pros

People are nice, hungry and humble. Relax atmosphere without much work to do. Solid business and awesome marketing.

Cons

This is probably where you end up working when you have no other choice or when you get acquired like I did. Their stack was already outdated 10 years ago and is now calcified in place. The ticket system disguised as the workflow engine is crippled with bugs and an awful experience for users. Internally, everything uses it. You get a taste early on during what is definitively the worst onboarding experience I ever had. It doesn't help that every meeting feels like a cult where everyone just praises the executive for being so awesome.

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.
