Pros

- Great CEO - Pockets of good leadership - Some really great people working on the front lines - Rapid growth and opportunities (if you can handle the stress and pain of it)

Cons

- I've watched sooo many managers end up quitting because it is just unmanageable - Process gets in the way of innovation - Engineering leaders not interested in innovating - Fairly toxic Engineering org. This one element keeps the job from being enjoyable.

Pros

ServiceNow had a differentiated platform and products. Early on the culture had a startup energy that was rare for a company this size collaborative teams, ownership, and a sense that people actually cared about outcomes. Working with large enterprise customers on complex workflows was interesting work.

Cons

The ServiceNow I joined was a different company. As headcount increased, so did the bureaucracy, layers, and friction that rewarded politics over execution. The layoffs of the last few years were handled poorly little transparency, inconsistent communication, and decisions that felt made far above with little thought for the people affected. The "cost optimization" messaging rang hollow against continued executive spending. For a company that sells workflow and people process tools, the irony of a chaotic RIF wasn't lost on anyone in the field or on customers. Leadership political dynamics were real. The right team, the right manager you had cover. Performance alone didn't protect you.
