Pros

Salary is kinda good, however not good enough to cover all the unrealistic wishes of leadership. Unlimited PTO, but feels like in many teams it’s not

Cons

Since recently they started micromanaging all people. Every week managers tell you are not good enough, you need to do more. A lot of unplanned work, but it’s required to be done. At the same time they don’t change OKRs and expect this extra payload to be completed along with the initial goals. All the questions and attempts to share concerns with management ending like we don’t care, do what they said. It’s hard to take PTO during release periods (6 months of the year). And management pressing even remote employees to go to the office.

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.
