Pros

The motto of ServiceNow is "Be Hungry, Be Humble" and from what I have seen (at least with engineers), this motto echos throughout the company. This is an engineering-led organization full of brilliant people where respect is shown everywhere. You immediately fall into this growth mindset of wanting to do your best here because you're surrounded by motivated, passionate people who are always willing to help out their coworkers. Also, the generous RSU package is pretty motivating for everyone to do their absolute best. Pros: - Team-focused environment. Lots of pair programming, even at IC3+ levels - Fun, challenging environment - Good work/life balance. No expectations of "burning the midnight oil" - Generous RSU program (vesting after a year) - "Unlimited" PTO with no drama when you take time off

Cons

Could be a little more flexible with the wfh

Pros

Good work/life balance, strong community, grow opportunities

Cons

Management hired from outside, a lot of former Oracle employees (not a bad thing per se but it doesn't help in diversity)

Pros

1. Excellent office space. Full of perks. Top notch facilities eg: Massage chairs, cricket net, lots of games and relaxing places. 2. Excellent work culture. No pressure to stay in office of X hours or so. Very collaborative employees. 3. The company is growing around 40% YoY. So it directly reflects on the RSUs you get.

Cons

1. Zero growth opportunity. They hire people from diverse technology background eg: Java, C#, Python development. While hiring, the work is not clearly mentioned. Its said, that the work will be extensively on Javascript and lot of code logic to write and all. But in reality, you will be using the ServiceNow platform like a tool. To develop applications, just drag drop stuffs to create an application. The coding part is hardly 20-30%. Not ideal for really techie guys/girls who are looking for good quality work which involves programming. 2. The management is becoming more process oriented. This is not expected from a good product company. The focus is shifting from quality of work to quantity of work per say.
