Pros

The company seems to actively strive to manage work life balance for its employees, giving occasional "Wellness Days" off in order to help unwind. The software is fully featured enough to allow developers to execute on the vision of a "low code" development environment without feeling unduly hampered in their ability to develop and implement their desired projects.

Cons

The "low code" environment espoused by the company and software is very different from the typical IDE based development that software engineers might be used to. It definitely takes getting used to the Now platform oriented development that ServiceNow encourages if you're more focused on lower level development, and it's not immediately clear how much of that Now platform specific development skill will carry over into other Software Engineering positions.
