Pros

Good benefits and good compensation

Cons

First of all hire good quality. Stop bringing all pet people of management. Directors came in somehow , managers and their followers. Lot of people joined with out clear interview but now manage team who doesn't know anything about servicenow. First of all no good work comes to Hyderabad. You only have to application development on their platform. Or solve customer issues. Staff Engineers don't do any work, they just show up, manage and help manager for interviews. Do you believe that Staff Engineers don't write any code. But always show up other work as theirs. There is no value to the people who know servicenow and do all work. Hike and stocks is not in par with Staff and other people. No respect or decent hike for long time serving people. Managers just depend on Staff and don't care about team. They leave the team to them to manage. Now your hike and everything is depends on your relationship with Staff Engineers. They manage teams and decide who has to stay or leave. They decide who will be hired. I enquired in other teams before moving out , but friends told it is worst in their teams. Careful of fake reviews from HR and managers. This is good company if you want to be inc consultancy for service now app development or better stay away. No good work in Hyderabad.

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.
