Pros

ServiceNow has a great growth trajectory ahead of them. People who work here are in high demand as what we have had to do over the last 3-4 years to build the foundation and scale from $500M to nearly $2B is an amazing achievement for those that have been there during these years.

Cons

The opportunity for newer employees is still there but not as great. The stock grants are much smaller than they used to be due to board limitations and the value. Your experience at ServiceNow will really depend on which department you work in and your manager. Marketing is not the place you want to work. People are tossed out not for performance but because they don't have skills that the company needs for the next phase. This is no way to treat people who grew the company. Sadly the CMO stifles innovation, its his way or the highway and we went down a path over the last year where we put way to much focus on demand gen and nothing else. Departments have suffered lack of resources and budgets. Thankfully our CEO and CCO see this and are ensuring we invest outside of demand gen.

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.
