Pros

-The true culture of the company is that most employees will help one another without any pushback. -The technology is solid. ServiceNow has a pretty full toolbox to help IT shops with their needs. -Nice offices

Cons

-The sales teams are weak. They rely on the ITSM install base and hardly have relationships outside of IT. -The company is frugal beyond belief. While the executives are touting the cash reserves to Wall St., they leave out that that is at the expense of the employees. -Leadership is rife with favoritism. Star performers get "solid" ratings and minimal raises, while buddies take care of their buddies whether they perform well or not. -While ServiceNow publicly touts no layoffs, if an employee is rated with a score of 1 or 2 (out of 5), they can be fired without any notice. These can easily be looked at as quiet layoffs without the need to pay severance. (While this did not happen to me, but I saw it happen multiple times)

Pros

The organisation attracts smart, driven talent and operates with urgency and ambition. Appears to have a formidable market position. Vision is attractive and compelling.

Cons

For a company that’s growing, operational sophistication must be matched by governance rigour. In my experience, structural clarity and sponsorship discipline have not consistently evolved at the same pace as their vision strategy has evolved. Senior mandates shift without durable alignment, limiting strategic continuity. Decision rights and portfolio ownership are most of the times fluid, which weakens accountability. Internal oversight and review mechanisms would benefit from stronger visible independence. When accountability forums are perceived as closely aligned to existing power structures, confidence in impartial outcomes is reduced. In moments requiring high transparency, communication can appear highly managed. Repeated gaps between stated leadership principles and lived practice create quiet but cumulative erosion of trust among experienced leaders. Values are most credible when upheld under scrutiny. Where alignment between principle and action is inconsistent, institutional credibility becomes vulnerable. The vision and values are credible and lofty but execution and practice of it is absent or missing! While the CEO consistently emphasizes being “in your corner,” there appears to be a gap between that intent and the operational follow-through within leadership layers. There is visible investment in DEI initiatives, however, inclusion is measured not by activity but by consistent practice. Where lived experience diverges from stated commitment, organizations risk losing some of their most capable talent.
