Pros

-Decent benefits -Decent pay and stock options -Strong P4 leadership

Cons

- Not much career growth. -HR policies are a joke. Your band, designation and pay depends on your incoming salary and not based on your experience and talent. You will see a lot of people who are inexperienced , inefficient and are still in a better band/has better salary because their incoming salary was high. No parity. -Take home will be low due to stock options. -IDC Management is a joke. Most of them joined from companies like Oracle, ADP etc . They don’t have managerial/leadership skills. - No work life balance. Indian PMs are POs basically. They will have to work atleast 10 hours a day. Meetings till 11.30 pm on most of the days is very common. - Policies in India are different from global policies, which are the worst. - In the name of ramping up IDC, company hired anyone who applied for a job! This is seen across the quality of people in Engineering/QE/UX/Documentation. Lot of inefficient and poor performers in all departments.

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.
